• Creating characters

• Speaking and listening skills
• Confidence, concentration and communication skills
• Creating and imagining 
• Role-play and improvisation

At Wimbledon High School, girls will follow the Acting syllabus and spend three terms preparing for their graded acting awards which are examined at the LAMDA Drama school in Hammersmith in June and July each year.
