The School has a thriving Drama tradition, and stages at least four performances a year. Pupils are extremely enthusiastic and plays are generally chosen with large casts in mind.
There are opportunities for all. Recent productions have included Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd”, “The Arabian Nights” and “A Streetcar Named Desire”.
The Sixth Form presents an annual pantomime – a highlight of School and village life!
In spite of the School’s remoteness, there are regular trips to view professional productions in venues as far afield as Glasgow, Newcastle and Manchester. There is also an annual three or four day holiday visit to Stratford upon Avon to view a number of RSC productions.
In recent years, a number of School leavers have sustained their enthusiasm by becoming professional performers.
