Drama

Co-Curricular

Drama is a central part of our co-curricular provision, with our school productions being a notable jewel in our calendar
We believe that all performance is valuable, whether it be in the large-scale senior musical or a one-off presentation of curriculum work.
Specialist Teaching Facilities

At Stamford we have two exclusive-use specialist teaching and performance venues, one at our Senior School and one in our Sixth Form.

Speech and Drama

Stamford has a successful Speech and Drama programme, following the LAMDA syllabus.

Students from Years 3-13 are taught by specialist teachers and take graded examinations in Drama and Communication, many achieving distinctions for their work.

Production Crew Club

Students who attend can take charge of these areas in our busy programme of productions.

There is a weekly Production Crew Club for Years 10-13, run by our two professional Drama Technicians, exploring technical and design areas of the theatre.

Opportunities For All

At Stamford School we offer all students numerous performance opportunities throughout the year for all year groups.

Students have the opportunity to participate as a performer, or working behind the scenes, on events for audiences ranging from 30 to 400 in size.

Dance Showcase

Each year we hold a Dance Showcase, giving students the chance to perform, choreograph and celebrate their creativity.

The event brings together dancers of all abilities to share their passion, build confidence and develop new skills.

It’s a highlight of the school calendar and a fantastic celebration of talent, teamwork and expression.

Some recent productions;

Oliver!

One Man, Two Guvnor

Beauty and the Beast

The Demon Headmaster

The 39 Steps

Grimm Tales

Frankenstein

Pathway Programmes

At Stamford we recognise the importance of pathway programmes and partnerships beyond school life.

We work closely with a number of external agencies and links to help strengthen our offering to your child. Our long-established relationships with the wider Stamford amateur dramatics community is also vital for the confidence and support of our students.
