Drama

Drama thrives at Sexey’s. By taking part in the Key Stage and Whole School Productions, students grow in creativity and push the boundaries of their imagination. They are conversant with modern theatre practice, attending regular theatre trips to London, Bristol and Yeovil. We welcome touring theatre companies into school for tailored school productions that complement the curriculum.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, UK schools closed on March 20th 2020. At that time, our Year 10 students were learning how Theatre in Education can support, educate and inform, so decided to explore how the pandemic situation had an impact on Sexey’s community. This video details what we discovered:

Charlie Cool’s is a café in the centre of a small town, somewhere in Britain during the 1950’s, where you can enjoy a milkshake and a laugh away from nagging parents and the pressures of school. It’s where friends chat, hearts break and the elusive love of your life is an ever-changing, eternal possibility. Shot illustrating the school play - all cast

The upcoming Big Talent Show that will be hosted there promises a cash prize and a terrific career boost in show business. Will Fred win the contest and the girl of his dreams or will events spiral out of control?

Students absolutely excelled in this brand new musical with libretto and lyrics by Mrs Kiddell and music by Mr Badley, Sexey’s Head of Drama and Music respectively.
