Drama Overview

We believe that students deserve a wide-ranging, balanced and ambitious curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge, which engages students in a range of styles.

The greatest skills we can give students is the ability to achieve whilst harnessing their own creativity, whilst communicating this with others in order to become independent learners and thinkers.

Drama is a significant component in educating well-rounded students, giving them essential opportunities for growth and challenge beyond the subject content.

The Drama curriculum is spiral with essential drama and social skills built into the curriculum. This allows students to express themselves creatively whilst working to achievable and tailored goals, through performance in a safe, encouraging environment.
