Drama

 

The school has a vigorous and stimulating Drama department. Children can develop their dramatic skills from the age of 5, working towards examinations, festivals and participation in stage productions. In the early years confidence and articulation are developed through public speaking and presenting poems on occasions such as the Cambridge Festival.

 

A wide range of productions are presented each year, involving pupils of all ages. For pupils up to Year 9, drama is undertaken during the course of the normal school day, and it is an optional GCSE subject for older pupils. A flourishing senior drama club takes place after school and, on occasions, at weekends, tackling a wide range of challenging material with examinations and stage productions taking place throughout the year. The works of Shakespeare have featured on many occasions, along with more progressive and contemporary modern work. Variety is the spice of life in the senior drama club!
