Drama and role-play are used to enhance imagination, understanding and effective speech. Visits from respected theatre groups and trips to the theatre enrich the curriculum and every child is involved in highly acclaimed annual performances for parents. The Infant concert is at Christmas and the junior concert in the summer term. Children are encouraged to participate in all areas of performance, design, and production.
Pupils also have the opportunity to take part in specialist Drama sessions with a qualified Drama teacher and the London Academy of Dramatic Arts course has proved popular and successful with the juniors. Opportunities for public speaking are maximised so that pupils become confident and articulate. They reason and debate enthusiastically in lessons; they present prayers in assembly and Year 6 pupils compete for the reading cup and poetry cup which are presented on speech day when the winners perform in front of an audience of several hundred people.
