Junior Co-Curricular Activities

Speech and Drama

Both Public Speaking and Drama encourage creativity, confidence and critical thinking whilst improving communication and leadership skills.

Speech and Drama

Drama at the Junior School

Drama is increasingly being recognised as an effective way to enhance emotional intelligence, promote critical thinking through groupwork, discussion, and debate, and stimulate imagination and creativity.

Our focus is on the process of preparing a presentation, and not on the product. Through dance, song, and speech, drama offers an opportunity for pupils to celebrate a rich and meaningful understanding of society.

Every year, each student is offered the experience of participating in a performance in front of an audience.
