King's School

Our Arts Department puts on an annual Whole School Production in February; either a musical or a play. We aim for these productions to be as inclusive as possible and encourage students from all year groups to audition for an acting role or to sign themselves up for a backstage role in the band, stage management, lighting, photography, costumes etc. We really enjoy seeing our students' confidence and self-belief grow from being a part of these productions - they are always a highlight of the academic year. In recent years some wonderful casts and crews have performed Hairspray, High School Musical, Grease, Oliver, Alice, Beauty and the Beast, Grimm Tales and A Midsummer Night's Dream - the latter with a unique 70s soundtrack!

Quotes from parents:

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST
I just wanted to thank you both for giving my daughter the opportunity to be part of the play. She was so pleased when she got the part, enjoyed being part of the group, made new friendships and absolutely loved being on stage! I'm sure the buzz, fun and excitement will be missed.

OLIVER

I wanted to email to share my congratulations and deepest thanks with you all and those who have helped you to achieve Oliver and all fabulous magic ripples which surround it!

I have always adored King’s School spirit and your shows are a definite highlight - but they truly grow from strength to strength! They are inclusive, heart boosting, talented and joyful!

ALICE

I wanted to write personally to say how much I loved the production of Alice. It was truly magical. The music, the staging, the energy on stage — all of it reflected an enormous amount of dedication and care. We are so lucky to have such generous teachers and a school community that not only values creativity but actively nurtures it, giving every child the opportunity to grow in confidence and imagination.
