Fifteen stage stars of the future are celebrating passing their London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA) examinations with top marks.

The youngsters, aged between five and 16, all attend Stagecoach Theatre Arts in Exmouth - and all achieved merits and distinctions.

LAMDA examinations are designed to equip learners, whatever their age or aspirations, with a range of skills that will serve them throughout life.

The examinations themselves provide an opportunity to build self-confidence and self-esteem and acquire skill certification for career development which include UCAS points.
