Private Speech and Drama Lessons
A range of excellent itinerant speech and drama teacher’s work in the School offering lessons during and, to a limited extent, outside school hours. Classes are generally taught in groups of four. While the School acts as an intermediary, the lessons are contracted individually with the teacher. Students may be prepared for examinations as part of their course.
If you require any assistance please contact Performing Arts.
