St Francis pupils celebrate LAMDA results

Pupils at St Francis School, Pewsey celebrated this week after receiving their LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) exam results. Of the 52 pupils who took the LAMDA exams, 49 achieved Distinctions and 3 achieved Merits. Head of Drama, Abby Bracken, said, “I think these are some of, if not the best, results I have ever seen pupils awarded in my career. That is not to diminish the achievements of the pupils – they did phenomenally well, and each performer excelled not just in their exams but also in the drama showcases they took part in in the run up to these exams. Well done all – I am absolutely thrilled!” 

Head at St Francis, David Lee, added, “These results are absolutely fantastic, and I’m sure that our pupils and their parents are absolutely ecstatic. The Drama department at St Francis is one of the best I know, and these results are testament to the talent of our pupils and quality of the teaching. I am delighted for all those who have received their results.” 

St Francis is an independent Prep School for children aged 0-13 years old, based on a 17-acre site in the heart of the Pewsey Vale. Pupils at the school are able to take LAMDA from Year 3, in addition to their specialist Drama lessons. The School has a long history of producing talented actors, with a steady flow of Drama Scholarships being awarded to leavers each year. This year two pupils were given Drama awards for Senior Schools.
