Drama & Dance

Both Dance and Drama were offered as GCSE subjects in 2007.  They were available as after-school studies to enable girls to take them without restricting their other GCSE choices.  This has proved to be a successful innovation, so much so that other schools have asked to join our classes.

Role play is an important part of Pre-School and Infant development and drama is used in many subject areas throughout the Junior School.  In the Senior School it is both a separate subject and is used frequently in other areas, especially English and Humanities.

Budding actresses have opportunities both in curriculum time and more especially in the productions presented to a public audience every year.  Most recently a ‘Space Adventure’ in the Junior School and ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ in the Senior School were both colourful, amusing and absorbing entertainment.

Both Dance and Drama form part of the Inter-House Competitions which are such an important element of College life.
