These become second nature allowing for confident engagement with various types of people in so many situations; skills which are invaluable both socially and in today’s competitive work market.

Pupils are taught in pairs or solo for 40 minutes. Please note that pupils in Years 9-11 may on occasion need to leave an academic lesson for their LAMDA lesson. This is organised on a rotational basis to minimise disruption.
