Sarah Frankcom to leave LAMDA after ‘conduct and management style’ complaints

LAMDA revealed to The Stage on 10 August that they have launched a ‘full and fair internal inquiry into the allegations’ after former staff members claim Frankcom’s work style led to the resignations of a significant number of teachers. 

The school has confirmed that Frankcom has now resigned and that the school is searching for a new director. 

In a statement on 10 August, LAMDA’s board said: ‘No conclusions can or should be reached about those claims until the inquiry process is complete. The well-being of all our staff is paramount and the allegations are being taken seriously. LAMDA respects the confidentiality of everyone involved during the inquiry process’ adding that Frankcom ‘takes any allegations of this nature extremely seriously’ and welcomed the investigation.
