TWENTY-seven Mount House pupils have received certificates, passing exams set by the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) in June, with almost all achieving either a merit or a distinction.

They achieved a 100% pass record in LAMDA exams over the past 12 months.

The outstanding marks in this latest round went to Maddie Hine with 94 and Sebastian Albery with 90.

The LAMDA graded examinations are joint qualifications in communication or performance which test candidates on speaking verse or prose, using spoken English and reading for performance.
