The school’s purpose-built Performing Arts Centre includes two dedicated drama studios, an ensemble room, full blackout capability, lighting rigs, and strong acoustic separation between performance spaces.
Classes are kept to manageable sizes to allow individual focus, and you’ll have the chance to lead or contribute to extra-curricular drama productions and school events.

At the Sixth Form level, nearly 100% A-Level pass rates, and a high proportion of A-B / Distinction grades * reinforce the school’s academic strength.
