Drama is such an important part of school life, and many parents, pupils and staff are quickly struck by how seriously Cranleigh approaches performance in all its forms. Indeed, many pupils cite the standard of drama at Cranleigh as one of the reasons that they chose the school.
Taking part in a production, whether as an actor, director, designer or technician provides an unparalleled challenge which builds teamwork, creates long-lasting friendship and gives young people social confidence. It’s also extremely enjoyable and lasts among the most memorable experiences of school years.
Academic Drama affords pupils an opportunity to study in a different way, and students certainly value having a number of lessons per week that aren’t spent behind desks! Choosing drama as part of the curriculum and as a GCSE or A-Level choice affords pupils at Cranleigh a balanced timetable, and provides communication skills that in later life are useful most importantly during interviews.
The principal focus of drama at Cranleigh is for pupils to enjoy performing, whilst being pushed to reach the highest standards possible. We also recognise the important role that the drama department plays in providing entertainment for the whole school and as such value each pupil or member of staff who may come and watch a play just as much as those who work so hard to mount productions.
Please enjoy looking around the drama pages of the website to find out about performance spaces, staff and recent productions (where you will find reviews and photo galleries). Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you require any further information.
