The Faculty Aims
Art - To equip all Art students with the knowledge, skills, passion and experiences they need in order to realise their own creative ideas.
Drama - To ensure that every student develops a confident voice of expression, through creating, performing, designing and evaluating a wide range of theatre. Students develop and sharpen their skills of communication, creativity, collaboration, autonomy, leadership and confidence. Through the exploration of current issues, students challenge themselves and take risks in a safe, creative environment.
Music - To create the very best musicians. We challenge students to think, act and speak like those working in the field. We do this through quality first teaching which challenges our students to not only understand different styles and genres of music but requires them to explore, discuss and demonstrate this understanding in creative ways. They are challenged in all lessons to be able to demonstrate understanding and creativity through performance, composition, through collaboration with their peers and through evaluation of their own work.
Extra-Curricular
The Arts at Redden Court School is a vibrant and dynamic faculty where every student has the chance to explore their creativity both in lessons and through an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities. From lunchtime and after-school clubs to visits to theatres, galleries, and workshops with visiting practitioners, students are constantly inspired by new experiences and professional expertise.
In Performing Arts, the calendar is filled with exciting events. Each year we stage our much-loved Christmas Concert and Summer Showcase, alongside our highly anticipated annual school production. Past productions have included Mary Poppins Jr, Grease, Hairspray, Matilda Jr, and most recently Annie Jr, giving students the opportunity to shine both on and off stage.
The Arts Faculty offers something for everyone. Whether your passion lies in acting, dancing, singing, technical theatre, playing an instrument, or exploring the visual arts such as painting, sketching, or sculpture, we provide an inclusive and welcoming environment where every student is encouraged to get involved—regardless of experience. Our aim is to help you discover new talents, develop existing skills, and share your creativity with the school community throughout the year.
