Drama

Department vision

The Stone Lodge Drama department strives to create confident, creative and resilient learners who can collaborate successfully with others to devise innovative and imaginative pieces of work. We aim to inspire, challenge and immerse all students into the world of Drama and theatre. We want students to have high aspirations for themselves, to be respectful of others and to understand the responsibilities that come with working as part of a team. Students will be equipped with the tools to perform, direct and design theatre, widening their skill set within the field. We will provide students with the opportunities to observe and take part in Drama and Musical Theatre performances beyond the classroom to build their cultural capital and self-confidence, along with generating skills and experiences they can use to lead successful lives.
