There are many English related extra-curricular activities: Junior Drama, House Drama and Senior Drama all need enthusiastic actors, administrators, stage managers and directors. There are reading groups for lower school students and upper school girls are encouraged to form their own groups. The department regularly organises theatre trips to see set texts and other plays in performance. A joint English and Geography trip to Stratford Upon Avon includes either a visit to the RSC or to the Shakespeare Birthplace.  Year 9 really enjoyed "The Tempest" in 2006.

Teachers in the Art and Literature departments are currently in the process of setting up an informal and explotatory cross-curriculuar discussion group, making links betweendifferent art forms.  Sixth formers have shown great interest and we anticipate a lively and stimulating series of meetings.

See the Drama Productions and Reading Groups pages for more details.
