Our Lady's Catholic High School
Intent
Our Drama curriculum develops creativity and individuality; we strive to encourage pupils to develop their self-confidence and use this to think and express themselves with flair and conviction in a range of situations. Our very high expectations of behaviour and achievement for all pupils, allows them to thrive over their time in drama, show tolerance and understanding to their peers and reach their potential.
“You just have to be open and ready, and let it all happen.” – Angela Lansbury
Drama is an important subject for all pupils as it improves self-confidence in readiness for expressing themselves and preparing them for other life situations such as interviews and presentations. It promotes a variety of life skills such as team work, analysis and development of ideas, research and listening skills when working in peer groups. All pupils at KS3 are offered Drama. For some this is a passion which they can only get in school. This ensures we give equal opportunities for all to thrive in Drama.
We offer a range of extracurricular activities including Performing Arts Club, whole school production, local dance festivals, theatre trips, competitions and other external events when they arise. All pupils are encouraged to participate and bespoke support is given to our more vulnerable pupils.
