Drama

A converted 18th-century stable provides a charming theatre for all children to learn acting and performing skills.  On occasions, the school gym is converted into a much bigger arena for some spectacular productions such as "Bugsy Malone", "The Lion King" and "We Will Rock You" which have all been performed to great acclaim. Our "Ripley's Got Talent" contest, Summer Dance Extravaganza for Little Court and the Upper School productions are now famous Ripley Court School productions.

Each child has the opportunity to shine whether it be in a class assembly, on stage in the annual production or delivering their ESB presentations. Drama allows pupils to develop a wide range of skills that help them become successful performers and confident and resilient learners. Many pupils extend their study of Drama outside the classroom in specialist LAMDA classes.
