Kelly College celebrated a great set of results as last term's speech and drama grades were received.

Speech and drama has been taught at Kelly for the last 14 years by Vanessa McCarty and for the last six years, public speaking has formed part of the curriculum for everyone in the lower sixth.

Students take oral exams with the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA) and have enjoyed well above average results.

The most recent saw 114 examinations taken, eight of which were at grade 8. Twenty-seven of the exams taken were grade 6 and above, all of which earn UCAS points. 

Pictured are some of the pupils who gained their grade 8 LAMDA speech and drama, public speaking.
