Our major school production takes place in November.
Last year it was a highly successful production of Les Misérables which played to packed houses for
six nights. This year we are undertaking the classic musical Oliver!. During the Spring term Year
10 pupils get the chance to take part in The Middle School plays, last year entering the
Shakespeare School’ Festival. In March and May respectively, the 6th Form and GCSE Drama and
Theatre Studies students perform their exam pieces to public audiences. In recent years A Level
students have performed in productions such as Equus, Blood Wedding, Blue Remembered Hills, Our
Country’s Good and East. In the Summer term over 100 Lower School pupils get the opportunity to
take part in a Revue style production called Spring Snippets.
In addition to the productions, we also offer a number
of extra curricular visits. At least once a term STAGES offer discounted tickets to some of the
best shows in London enabling pupils, staff and parents the opportunity to see excellent theatre at
a very reasonable cost. Many years we also run a trip to a foreign country during the October half
term holiday for all those in Years 10 and above who have an interest in Drama.
