Dance and Drama
Dance and Drama At Surbiton High Girls’ Preparatory School, we believe in a holistic education and thus Dance and Drama is an essential part of our curriculum. The benefits of Performing Arts permeate every area of our lives, both personal and social, and therefore it is crucial that our girls be exposed to this subject at a young age. Our girls are taught practical and theoretical skills that will be of value far beyond their schooling careers. We focus on the development of motor skills, spatial awareness, rhythm, communication, vocalisation, improvisation, effective acting techniques and the expression of the whole body, all with the end goal of developing confident, creative individuals. Pupils from Reception to Year 6 are given opportunities to perform both in and outside the classroom, both in formal Dance and Drama lessons, as well as in Co-curricular Dance Clubs and Drama Clubs. Every year, Surbiton High Girls’ Prep hosts a Key Stage 1 Nativity play and Year 4 and Year 6 major productions, often taking the form of a musical. In addition to this, Year 3 and Year 5 have the opportunity to perform in their own Dance and Drama showcase. There are also opportunities for performance in Inter-House Competitions, Poetry Day recitals and class assemblies.
