Junior House Drama

October 11, 2023

This Tuesday, all Junior students competed in the annual Junior House Drama competition. This year the theme was ‘Fractured Fairytales’. All 8 sub houses were given a classic fairytale to ‘fracture’ to in 3 different ways to create their version of the story to perform. They had one day to devise these pieces with the help of the Drama A Level students and impress their judges, the Drama Captains Martha and Joe. Although every house produced an incredible adaptation of their classic tale, there can only be one winner, which we are thrilled to announce was Swayne! We would also like to commemorate Beck in getting second place and Elliott in getting third place.

Director of Drama Mr Adjivan, however, took […]
