Drama

Drama is about creating an inclusive community and developing a love of the Arts, and that is what we look to inspire within students at Habs with our Drama provision. Working collaboratively, inside and outside the classroom, we encourage pupils to become theatre-makers developing their skills, confidence and experience. All elements of theatre are explored and students have the opportunity to take leading roles backstage as stage managers, lighting and sound technicians and costume makers.

As part of our provision, we have hosted several professional make-up and theatre design workshops to support our curriculum and organised workshops for examination students with leading theatre companies and practitioners.

School productions feature heavily in our co-curricular programme and students perform in a range of plays and musicals. Recent productions include Brief Encounter (done jointly with the Girls’ School), Brainstorm/All The Things I Never Said and Where We End Up Small-scale workshop performances also take place each term. Each academic year, we participate in the Shakespeare Coram Schools Festival and enter local festivals.
