What OFSTED say: "Drama adds depth and breadth to the curriculum at Stringer and enhances the enjoyment
and motivation of the pupils. Dramatic presentations at Stringer are professional, carefully planned and executed
due to high expectations of staff and carefully targeted lesson planning. The wide range of drama extra-curricular activities contributes to the positive ethos of the school. In the prestigious annual production, staff and large
number of pupils work with many departments, which encourages collaboration in different disciplines and develops
very good relationships."
What we say: "Drama is committed to provide, in a supportive environment, creative and academic training of the highest standard, offering all pupils a positive learning experience and varied, exciting performance opportunities.
Drama pupils will be given the opportunity to watch and learn from peers and professionals through varied and challenging performances both in school and at the theatre.
As part of the whole school curriculum, pupils will be provided with a rich and diverse experience of historical,
cultural and practical aspects of the art form of drama. The breadth and balance of the Drama curriculum will
ensure that pupils are taught how to create, perform and respond to Drama by working in a stimulating and highly
challenging environment. They will be shown how the knowledge and skills addressed in drama are relevant to adult life in our society and how to communicate their opinions and beliefs and collaborate with others in creative and
effective ways.
Extra curricular activities are at the core of the drama experience and offer an essential opportunity for pupils
to further their experience in creating, performing and responding to theatre both as a participant and as an
audience member."
