Dover Court International School celebrated the remarkable success of its 2025 London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) cohort, who once again achieved exceptional results in examinations across Grades 3 to 8. This year, the cohort recorded a 100% pass rate at the Merit and Distinction levels, with 88% of students awarded Distinction, the highest possible grade, and the remainder achieving Merit.

Special congratulations went to Nitya in Year 13, who was awarded Distinction for her Grade 8 Solo Acting Award, the prestigious Gold Award and the highest qualification in the Acting Awards. Olivia in Year 12 and Allegra in Year 13 also impressed with their Grade 7 Silver Solo Acting Awards. Harper and Max in Year 11, along with Cameron in Year 12, each achieved 96 out of 100, the highest marks within the cohort.

Beyond acting, students from the BTEC Business Programme also excelled in public speaking. Gordavan and Francisco earned Silver Awards with Distinction, while Leon achieved his Grade 6 Bronze Award with Distinction. This recognition demonstrates the value of drama in complementing business studies, equipping students with confidence, clarity, and persuasive communication skills that will support them in both education and the workplace.

Reflecting on the results, DCIS Principal Christopher Short remarked:
“It was wonderful to be present as the DCIS Drama team presented these certificates. You could see the pride on the students' faces as they received recognition for their hard work. Drama is such an important life skill, as it provides the confidence and techniques for people to use well beyond the stage, managing meetings and delivering presentations in their further studies and careers. I am grateful to the Drama team for preparing our students for these globally recognised qualifications.”

These results highlight not only the talent of DCIS students but also their dedication, perseverance, and passion for performance. Through LAMDA, students have developed lifelong skills such as confident communication, effective presentation, creative thinking, teamwork, and adaptability under pressure.

LAMDA, one of the oldest and most prestigious drama schools in the world, is renowned for training exceptional artists and for its internationally recognised Speech and Drama examinations. At Dover Court International School in Singapore, the programme offers students opportunities to enhance their creativity, confidence, and communication skills while earning qualifications that strengthen applications for higher education and future employment.

The entire 2025 cohort has demonstrated excellence and inspired those around them, setting a shining example of achievement with grace and distinction.
