Drama

Subject Overview

A popular subject…

Drama is a popular subject at Light Hall School from Year 7 onwards and a favoured choice at GCSE. Our students work hard in their Drama lessons to create memorable and thought-provoking performances. Students in Years 7-9 will study the subject for one hour a week and at Year 10 and 11, this will increase to five hours over the fortnight.  

Our facilities

We are proud to hold a range of performance spaces, from our proscenium arch stage in the main hall to our purpose-built black box studio, with a full lighting rig, sound board and costume cupboard to further enhance the outstanding work that the students produce.

What we stand for

Our key ethos in Drama centres on collaboration. Through sharing ideas and opinions, our students learn how to express themselves and be critical and reflective thinkers. In studying social issues and topics, we develop students’ social, moral and spiritual thinking skills and aim to create confident, well rounded and successfully communicative young people.

Extra-Curricular activities

Every year, we are proud to host a school production for students in years 7-10. This is a fantastic opportunity for students to work together to create a truly memorable theatrical experience. For KS3 students, there is a weekly drama club where our aspiring performers can explore scripts, devise their own work and develop their acting skills.
