Dance and Drama are a big part of school life at the Pre-Prep where children get the opportunity to take part in a variety of school plays and performances.
They offer every child a creative outlet for expression. They are practical, fun and energetic subjects opening doors to children’s imaginations and allowing them a chance to use their ideas, create stories and explore other characters and worlds through performance.
Children in Year 2 have the opportunity to sing in our Senior School Chapel. In addition, all pupils from Nursery to Year 2 perform on stage at the school’s annual Speech Day, held at the Theatre in the Woods. Pupils also showcase their talents at our annual Dance Exhibition, which takes place in the Senior School Auden Theatre.
Drama is a real strength of the school and helps develop children’s confidence. All children have a dedicated lesson each week with a specialist teacher. These sessions benefit the children by giving them the opportunity to be creative and to share and evaluate ideas and understanding through the use of dramatic techniques and role-play activities. They also have great fun!
