Autumn Term Performing Arts

We provide an inspiring platform for artistic exploration and self-expression. Through music, drama, and dance, pupils develop technical skills, unleash their imaginations, and discover their unique voices in an inclusive and supportive environment. There are lots of performances throughout the year for all of our pupils. We begin our performing year in the autumn term with all groups in the school taking part in our Harvest and Remembrance assemblies. These are followed by a vast array of concerts and seasonal festivities.

Our summer term has further performance opportunities including our annual Ballet showcase and Senior Drama Production. Across the school we have 5 choirs that train weekly and a variety of clubs including Dance, Musical Theatre and Drama.
