Not only did the college maintain its recent trend of 100% pass rate, but the talented students went even further with every student achieved the highest Merit and Distinction grades.

Principal Nick Goodman, said: “Public speaking and being able to express ideas, is an extremely valuable life skill and I am not aware of any other school in the country where such a high proportion of students gain public speaking qualifications.

“Our students’ exam success is all the more remarkable when you consider that students often join Frewen College, which is a unique school for young people aged 7- 19 with specific learning difficulties, when their confidence is at an all-time low, these results demonstrate our students outstanding progress at Frewen.”

As part of the LAMDA exams, Frewen students had to prepare and present a speech on a theme of their choice, often about a book, an experience or an object. Students meet the examiner for the first time on the day and everything takes place under strict exam conditions so, for example, quite a challenge for a Year 7 student.

Frewen College’s roots go back over 100 years making it one of the oldest dyslexia schools in the country. If you would like to know more about Frewen College, you can come along to one of their Open Mornings on Saturday May 11 or Saturday June 15.
