DRAMA SCHOLARSHIPS
What more does the scholarship offer? In addition to opportunities to perform in recent musicals such as Matilda , Shrek , Oklahoma , Madagascar and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang , our drama scholars have also taken part in amazing workshops producing plays from modern comedies to classic Shakespeare. In addition, scholars at St Andrew’s Prep often have the chance to work with our younger pupils to get a taste of directing. Candidates who are successful in gaining a drama scholarship will be expected to participate in annual school shows, drama masterclass, LAMDA lessons and maintain a Drama performance portfolio including school plays, theatre reviews of live shows and experience of production of drama on and off stage.
Assistant Director of Music and Performing Arts, Michelle Radley, will be happy to answer any queries that parents or prospective pupils may have and can be contacted on mdradley@standrewsprep.co.uk
