We have a vibrant Drama learning area at St Wilfrid’s, which offers a rich and diverse programme. A comprehensive exploration of the works of theatre practitioners (Berkoff, Brecht, Stanislavski and Artaud) will encourage you to push boundaries with your performances and work creatively at an impressive standard.

Recent students have gone on to graduate from musical theatre courses at the prestigious Bird College in London. Some of ourDrama students are currently in shows such as ‘Thriller Live’ on the West End and ‘Bring It On’. Former St Wilfrid’s students often come back to run workshops.

Extra opportunities include: drama workshops by professional theatre companies; whole-Academy productions where the Sixth Form students generally take the lead roles; theatre trips around the North West; tour exam work to local schools; extra-curricular rehearsals after school and in the holidays to provide the time that is needed to truly perfect a performance (consequently, you will receive a substantial amount of one-to- one time with your tutor). You will also be kept up-to-date with arts news including audition information.
