CReATIve HIGHLIGHTS
At the College, we celebrate young people’s creativity, nurturing and developing their skills from the day they arrive. Pupils work with top professionals across all the creative fields. The school has a proud tradition of pupils going on to forge successful careers in the creative and performing arts including architect and designer Sir Hugh Casson, actor and comedian Eddie Izzard, and a number of musicians becoming distinguished contributors in many aspects of the musical world.
Drama
The College enjoys a strong reputation for drama productions which involve pupils from all year groups and houses. With three internal drama spaces and an outside theatrical space, there are endless opportunities for pupils to be involved, be it treading the boards or backstage.
The Crucible
The Crucible was performed before packed houses in December. Hugo Verelst-Way and Uma Carey-Morgan took the lead roles, ably supported by Toby Anderson, Imogen Carr, Audrey Hammer and Charlie Pincus. James Nicholas acted as assistant director, and Georgia Hutcheon as stage manager alongside a strong backstage team.
