Drama and Music

Drama students love working in our Drama studios, and have use of our full-size stage in Senior School for productions, curricula performances, and Speech and Drama examinations.

Our Music facilities provide magnificent views across the Botanic Gardens and include a large teaching room with keyboard workstations, an additional room for A Level Music studies and individual rooms for peripatetic Music teaching.
