Shows & Events

All areas take part in an annual performance, which can be a full show or a bits and pieces type of affair.

Each show is tailored to the individuals who take part.

As well as scripted work, pupils are encouraged to devise their own pieces.

Such classics as:

*  Shriek!
*  The Grease Factor
*  At the Driving Range!
*  Romeo & Juliet-ten minute version

... just a few of the pieces that pupils have created themselves.

Pieces start in class and by the time we get them on stage they are often completely different! The joys of devised performance!

Scripted and musical pieces include:

Students are actively encouraged to take part in what goes into each show, working constantly with staff to ensure that they are always part of the whole process, not just the performance. This gives pupils empowering abilities that will assist them in their day-to-day lives- confidence, decision-making, public speaking and presentation skills.

Pupils also take part in a Christmas production ‘in class’, where parents, relatives and friends are invited to attend.
