College has always had a reputation for the importance it places on the
Creative and Performing arts. Our unique Orangery Theatre is the venue for
a wide range of productions, including those scripted and directed by pupils.
There are regular visits to the theatre for all year groups.
All pupils in Forms 1, 2 & 3 have one Drama period per week which focuses
on developing practical skills in voice and movement. Drama is a GCSE option
an the department teaches the AQA syllabus which is 60% practical coursework
and 40% final written exam. A Level Theatre Studies focuses on the practical
study of selected texts, production reviews and acting,or technical exam
work. In the Michaelmas Term, a Senior School play or musical is performed.
Most recent productions include "Les Liaisons Dangereuses", "Bouncers &
Shakers", "Les Miserables", "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Amadeus".
 A highlight
of the year for GCSE & 6th form students is the annual Drama Tour to London,
where they take part in an intensive programme of acting classes and play
reviewing.
In the Summer Term, forms 1-3 stage a musical. Past performances include
"Bugsy Malone" and "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Daisy Pulls It Off",
