On Friday 26 April, Year 10 and 11 Drama students went to see John Godber's Teechers at The Berry Theatre in Southampton.

This week two of our A Level students performed a piece of Theatre of the Absurd for their A2 exam. The Cellar was written and performed by Katherine B, who was joined by fellow student Katie H.

Drama students in Year 11 have been studying this exciting form of contemporary theatre, as championed by popular companies such as DV8 and Frantic Assembly. They gave two performances this week as part of their controlled assessment.

Sixth Form student Katherine Bement is celebrating after she auditioned against 4,600 other hopefuls and won a place on the National Youth Theatre’s Summer Programme.

Katherine auditioned against 4,600 other young people in the February half-term, and in April received the news that her monologue had impressed judges enough for a place on the National Youth Theatre’s (NYT) Summer Programme. The programme is a two-week acting course at Bruford College of Theatre Performance, near London, from 14– 26 August.

On Wednesday 7 December our four Houses (Alan, Damian, Edwin and Leo) battled it out on the stage to take the House prize for the Best Performance. This year’s theme was ‘New beginnings’, and each house produced an entertaining short play.
