Drama at Kingshott
Drama is astonishingly good at Kingshott - with all children, whether they are natural performers or not, having the opportunity to take part in drama and explore their communication skills.
We were delighted that our ambitious and inclusive approach to the Creative Arts was recognised this year when we were shortlisted for the Independent School of the Year Performing Arts Award. To read more about this prestigious national recognition, just click here.
There are numerous strands to our Drama provision:
- All pupils from Year one upwards benefit from specialist lessons as part of their timetable.
- All pupils are able to take part in a range of productions from our annual Nativity to large, west-end rivalling productions! This year saw the whole school take part in Matilda Jnr, whilst previous performances include; A Midsummer Night's Dream, Oliver, Peter Pan and the Lion King.
- Our long-running LAMDA programme, including both individual and group examinations, is enjoyed by all pupils from Year 4 upwards. Over 1,000 LAMDA exams have been taken in the last 7 years, with 70% awarded Distinction.
- Pupils are encouraged to take part in drama clubs and activities, there are also trips to see theatre productions in London, whilst West End experts and visitors come in to run workshops and help prepare pupils for shows.
