Drama at Bancroft’s is dynamic, inclusive and central to school life. Every pupil in Years 7 and 8 studies Drama, exploring genre, improvisation, physical theatre and characterisation. In Year 9, pupils can choose Drama as a creative option, leading naturally to GCSE and A Level for those who wish to take it further.
Beyond the classroom, our productions bring together energy, creativity and collaboration. Recent senior shows have included Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, We Will Rock You and School of Rock, while Brilliant the Dinosaur and Bye Bye Birdie have delighted younger audiences. Each production showcases the ambition and imagination of our pupils, supported by a dedicated Theatre Technician and a team of staff who help bring each performance to life.
There are plenty of ways to get involved beyond the main stage, from the Inter-House Performing Arts Competition and Junior Drama Club to Taal, our multicultural performance society. Pupils can also explore technical theatre, stage management and design.
Bancroftians have regularly performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, earning praise for their bold and original productions. Theatre trips and professional workshops run by visiting actors and directors offer inspiration throughout the year.
We are fortunate to have two performance spaces: the traditional Great Hall and the flexible Performing Arts Centre, both equipped with modern sound and lighting systems. Together they ensure that Drama at Bancroft’s continues to thrive – challenging, creative and full of life.
