Welcome to St Paul's Girls' School — St Paul's Girls' School

There's always a wealth of drama taking place, whether it's in class, the annual school plays or productions students put on themselves. In several years, drama is part of the timetable and there are opportunities for students of all ages to get involved in shows, whether in the fantastic Celia Johnson Theatre, the drama studio or any other suitable space around the school. If you’re interested in seeing how the professionals do it, we organise lots of visits that take advantage of London’s rich theatrical life as well as inviting practitioners to run workshops here.

It's great seeing the younger girls realise that drama isn't about the star – it’s a collaborative process and the star can’t function without everyone else.

Drama’s about teamwork and collaboration but also demands great analytical skill and the ability to approach new ideas critically and with an open mind. To enable students to reach their full potential in this subject, we offer drama GCSE and (from September 2010) theatre studies AS, plus many opportunities to take part in extra-curricular activities. Students can explore new possibilities and find out what they enjoy doing, whether it’s directing, designing and making costumes, creating sets or props, operating the sound or lighting, acting, singing or dancing.
