Creative Arts
Self-expression through drama and the creative arts is vital to our focus on
inspiring innovative and independent thought from an early age.
Our Art and Design Technology Centre and Tom Stoppard Theatre
have every facility to fire enthusiasm and nurture individual talent and
collaborative skills.
Prep School pupils enjoy role-play and gain confidence through school
productions and LAMDA acting and speaking qualifications. In Senior
School creative opportunities widen and the annual student-led House
Drama challenge ignites passion and enthusiasm, as well as excellent
teamwork. In addition to performing, students can work in backstage
areas such as directing, lighting, sound, costumes and choreography.
Theatre trips and work with visiting actors and other professionals
provide further inspiration.
Our flagship Art and Design Technology Centre is a thriving creative
hub with an art college feel and lots of gallery space to exhibit work.
Exploration of media and experimentation of techniques is actively
encouraged in open-plan, flexible teaching spaces. All staff are
practising artists and designers working on their own projects outside
of school.
