Drama at The Old School Henstead plays a vital role in helping pupils develop confidence, creativity, and communication.
Through improvisation, role-play, physical theatre, and voice work, children explore structured and adventurous performance, including a half term dedicated to Shakespeare’s plays.
In drama, we place a strong emphasis on the connection between drama and literacy skills.
Lessons build speaking and listening abilities, extend vocabulary, and encourage pupils to appreciate and express different perspectives.
As part of our lively school life, every child takes part in our much-anticipated Senior Summer Show, a whole‑school event that celebrates teamwork, self-expression, and performance skills.
For pupils from years 1-6, we offer LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) tuition (link?), helping pupils build public speaking, acting and presentation skills.
