Drama
Drama at Haileybury offers an exceptional opportunity for self-expression, communication and reflection.
“Pupils enjoy the many opportunities available in the performing arts with several achieving national awards.”
ISI Inspection Report 2022
In addition to acting, pupils of all ages are able to develop a range of skills such as theatre work, prop making, film-making and lighting and sound.
Each year there are four co-curricular drama performances as well as a range of clubs and technical workshops that pupils can get involved in to enhance their passion on or behind the stage. Our major school productions have, in recent years, been performed in the Hertford Theatre and opened up to the public.
Pupils also have the opportunity to take LAMDA lessons, working with an excellent team of tutors through Exam Stars at Haileybury, who provide first-class tuition on a solo, paired or group basis. Pupils can participate in Acting, Improvisation, Public Speaking and Shakespeare examinations.

Available through activities, clubs and as part of the academic electives programme the future of filmmaking at Haileybury is very exciting.
