The Creative Arts

At Hatherop, we recognise that the Arts serve as a powerful platform for our children to cultivate essential qualities such as confidence, self-esteem and resilience. Our approach is grounded in the belief that true growth often arises from stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Therefore, we strive to empower our pupils to speak in public, maintain eye contact and embrace the unfamiliar. To support, we offer a wide array of opportunities for our pupils to showcase their talents. Through concerts, speech & drama activities, plays, bands, exhibitions, musical theatre performances and choirs, our pupils have the chance to build their confidence and express themselves authentically. Our goal is clear: we aim to equip our pupils with the skills and mindset to realise their fullest potential. A highlight of our Arts calendar is our much-anticipated annual Arts Week. During this immersive experience, all pupils from Reception to Prep 8 come away from their usual day-to-day timetables to immerse themselves in the Arts. The week culminates in our captivating 'Castlebury' showcase. This unique event features every child in the school taking the stage, whether it's through comedy, singing, dancing, performing or storytelling. Castlebury embodies our commitment to celebrating every child's individuality and supports our aim of allowing pupils to create their own unique story. We invite you to catch a glimpse of the vibrant energy and creativity through our Arts Week video provided below. At Hatherop, we take pride in nurturing confidence and creativity through the Arts, helping our students discover their own voices and embrace the limitless possibilities that lie ahead.
