2026 Speech & Drama Results

Drama at Castle Court is about far more than performance alone; it is about developing confidence, communication and the courage to express ideas with clarity and creativity. Through a rich programme of drama opportunities, pupils are encouraged to find their voice both on and off the stage, with many going on to achieve drama scholarships to leading senior schools. Alongside this, children regularly take LAMDA examinations, where outstanding results are consistently achieved, with at least 82% of pupils being awarded Distinctions.
