Since 2004, we have enjoyed the use of our new, purpose-built theatre. It seats 250 on permanent raked seating, has a large stage, is air-conditioned, and benefits from state-of-the-art sound and lighting. As well as dramatic productions, it is a venue for our morning Assemblies, visiting speakers, school debates, concerts, dance and drama workshops and much more. Our aim is for each child to perform on stage at least once each year.
