Our Specialism
Sport and drama help to produce confident, resourceful learners, with benefits that spread across the whole curriculum.
Our two specialist areas – sport and drama – teach skills that students can apply in every aspect of their learning. Organisation, teamwork, communication and confidence can be enhanced through drama, team games and dance, for example, or more individual pursuits such as yoga, fitness training, athletics or gymnastics.
In year seven, students experience a wide range of physical activities before going on to make choices in year eight. This approach – mixing diversity with choice – is extremely popular with students.
Through drama, students tackle complex real-life issues in engaging, imaginative ways. Drama promotes creativity and collaboration and supports learning in other areas of the curriculum, such as English, History and Geography.
Our excellent specialist facilities include two purpose-built drama studios, a fitness gym and extensive playing fields.
