Always a highlight of the school calendar, House Drama demonstrates again the huge creativity and talent students have in writing, casting producing and directing a piece of drama on a given theme. This year’s theme was The Ripple Effect which already conjures up all sorts of possibilities in one’s mind.

Palmer’s play was called Pass it on, a theme about kindness and the ripple effect that acts of kindness can have.

Cedars’ play was called The Village altogether a more sinister view of life and human motivation.

Sidmouth’s play Cinderella was a retelling of a familiar story, but not quite with the expected ending.

All the plays could have been winners but our Adjudicator, Dani Davies, Co-Artistic Director and Executive Director of RABBLE Theatre, decided very convincingly that the winning play was Palmer’s. Well done to Palmer!

Thank you to the staff involved in supporting students through this work, in particular Mrs Cooper and Miss Hyde.
