Drama and Productions

Drama and Productions

Drama opportunities are equally ambitious and inclusive. Productions such as The Lion King and Les Misérables involved pupils across multiple year groups and showcased collaboration between performers, musicians, technical teams and Art students. LAMDA tuition across the school has resulted in exceptional outcomes, with over 60% of grades awarded at distinction level.


Within the school’s co-curricular programme, LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts) lessons are offered to pupils from age 6 to 18. Pupils study a broad range of certifications including Verse and Prose, Public Speaking and Acting. In addition, the Bronze, Silver and Gold qualifications available to all pupils, offer UCAS points for sixth form students and are highly valued by Universities. 

The school stages an annual major theatrical production, alternating between the Junior and Senior schools. In addition, the Nursery and Infant children perform a short annual production.
