Welcome to Elendel School of
Speech & Drama

London’s unique Speech and Drama, Communication and Educational classes.

Our classes are run by fully qualified teachers in Education with additional Speech and Drama diplomas. We offer a creative and inspiring space to give our students the support and guidance they need to become confident and articulate communicators, whether in their daily lives, at school or in front of a large audience. 

Allow your child to find their voice. Our classes are fun, engaging and educational. We celebrate each student’s individuality and help to nurture and develop their natural voice. It is important for young people to experience different learning environments, to meet friends outside of school and to enjoy their learning.

We offer a bespoke programme of study that is regularly updated to ensure our young people leave Ellendel equipped with the skills they need for life. Not only do we want our students to be confident and articulate communicators, we also want them to develop an appreciation for literature, to be able to think creatively and express themselves freely. Our lessons develop the higher-level cognitive skill areas of Communication, Creativity, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving and Cultural Intelligence/Global Awareness, as well as social emotional skill areas such as Self-Awareness, Empathy, Relationship skills, Self-Regulation and Decision making. 

Speech and Drama students at Ellendel work towards the LAMDA examinations in Verse and Prose, Public Speaking, Reading for Performance and Acting. They have the option to take LAMDA examinations across two areas each year. In addition, students are prepared for local festivals and other performance competitions. 

We have a 100% pass rate with LAMDA examinations: 2016 – present

    Fun and Life Skills
    "We've been really happy with M's progress at Ellendel. She has become such a confident speaker: solo in exams, with friends and family or in front of an audience of unknown people. It's such an important skill to have as you progress through life and Ellendel has equipped her well. Whilst taking LAMDA exams is useful as an indicator of progress; the weekly lessons practise discussion, role play, pronunciation and the atmosphere is always friendly and fun. "

    Brilliant !!
    "My both daughters enjoy The Ellendel classes very much. They both always look forward to the classes. My older one was very shy and quiet in the beginning. Laura and Laura have always encouraged her and we can see how her confidence has grown now. She is always ready to participate in various activities. My younger one has joined the classes recently and she is already loving them. We highly recommend these classes. Thank you. "
