Nurturing creativity

Through our curriculum-based and co-curricular drama activities, we offer students rich opportunities to immerse themselves fully in the performing arts. This reflects our commitment to nurturing creativity and self-expression, providing a supportive platform where students can build confidence and explore their unique voices.

From Early Years through to Key Stage 5, our drama curriculum is designed to inspire and develop talent. Regular performances, such as GCSE and A-level performance evenings, allow our students to showcase their skills and achievements. We believe that working in ensembles not only enhances learning but also instils a strong sense of teamwork and discipline, essential qualities for success in all areas of life. Our students take pride in their efforts and have the opportunity to gain valuable experience and recognition for their dedication through regular assessments and performances.

In addition to our dedicated onsite drama suite, we are pleased to have access to exceptional performance facilities, including the Bridge House Theatre, shared with Foundation schools. This enhances our students’ learning experience, offering a professional space where they can bring their talents to life in front of live audiences. The chance to perform in a fully-equipped theatre setting further inspires our students, enriching their educational journey and fostering a passion for the performing arts that will serve them well into the future.

“I never would have expected that I would have the confidence to paint myself green and perform as Shrek. But that is what studying drama at Kingsley has done for me. Our wonderful head of Drama, makes drama joyous as she enables and encourages passion for the Arts.”
