Drama, Music & the Arts Even if pupils do not study Drama at A Level, there are plenty of opportunities at Sherborne Girls to get on stage and perform or help behind the scenes. Our thriving Drama Department puts on productions throughout the year, with a major joint production at the end of the Michaelmas Term with Sherborne School. Girls also have the chance to write or direct their own plays, attend drama lectures and screenings or run workshops for younger years. House plays are very important, too, and as a Sixth-Form pupil, they will have the opportunity to produce, act, or work backstage for both their House or School productions, at both Sherborne Girls and Sherborne School.

Arts Award Gold If pupils are already taking part in some of the co-curricular Drama offered, they may want to work towards an Arts Award Gold. As well as taking part in an Arts activity (such as one of the school productions or choreographing House Dance) they would need to research the arts sector, review a performance they have seen, debate an arts issue, and run their own arts project – such as directing House Drama, writing a play, teaching younger girls how to make their own clothes, or putting on a musical theatre night. This is a great way for pupils to receive accreditation for the creative work they are already doing at School.
