Introduction to the Drama Department
"Drama helps to develop many vital skills which are useful in all walks of life - confidence in communicating with other people, leadership skills, and teamwork to name but a few."
The aim of the department is to make students aware of the power and influence of theatre and how it can communicate ideas and stories to an audience.


Our department has:

  • A well equipped, specialist drama workshop.
  • Modern technology, including a digital projector for the creation of 'virtual sets'.
  • Various extra-curricular activities including Drama Club, School Plays and Theatre Visits.
  • A vast selection of plays and resources available for students.
  • A history of pupils obtaining good results in their GCSE and A level exams
