 Speech & Drama: Building Confident Communicators 


 At Ellendel, we believe strong communication is one of the most valuable life skills a child can develop, and it's rarely taught anywhere else. 


 Our weekly one-hour Speech and Drama classes give students a safe, nurturing space to explore public speaking, performance, language and creativity, guided by expert teachers who know exactly how to bring out the best in each child. 


 As an after-school activity, our classes complement your child's school education rather than compete with it, adding real value without disrupting valuable learning time. 


 

What your child will gain:


  • Confidence to speak clearly and think on their feet
  • The ability to present ideas with impact, on stage or in everyday life
  • Stronger listening, language and social skills
  • A genuine love of creativity and self-expression


While many of our students go on to achieve excellent LAMDA results, our focus goes further than exam success. We're building young people who can walk into a classroom, an interview, or a room full of strangers, and communicate with real confidence, a skill that will serve them for life.

International Students

How Ellendel supports students worldwide

We support students across the world in developing confident English speaking skills, critical thinking and expressive communication. 


Our online classes help international learners prepare for British schools, Cambridge iGCSE and UK‑style academic expectations. 

What makes us Different?

 We offer a considered, integrated approach to education, combining expertise in English, Speech & Drama, and Language Development to deliver a personalised and meaningful programme.


Our classes are informed by accredited training in speech and language support, allowing us to use evidence‑based strategies for children with a wide range of communication needs. Through drama, discussion, improvisation and performance, students learn to:


  • Reason aloud and articulate their thinking
  • Explain ideas clearly using evidence, examples and precise language
  • Listen actively and respond thoughtfully
  • Build subject knowledge through structured dialogue
  • Make their thinking visible, enabling deeper learning and stronger teacher insight



We also provide bespoke English Tuition delivered by fully qualified English teachers, combining academic rigour with a personalised approach. With over 10 years’ experience preparing students for London’s top independent schools, we work closely with families in the UK and internationally.


By bringing together our strengths in English, speech and drama, and language development, we offer a uniquely integrated approach that strengthens both communication and academic performance.


At Ellendel, we provide:


  • Preparation for 7+, 11+ and 13+ entrance exams
  • Support with English, comprehension and creative writing
  • Interview preparation and confidence building
  • Speech & Drama group classes
  • LAMDA exam preparation
  • Public speaking classes
  • Speech, language and communication development
  • Tailored support for international students transitioning to UK schools
