Drama

From the youngest pupils to Sixth Form students, drama is woven into school life at Finborough. We are proud to be one of the top performing arts schools in Suffolk offering fantastic tuition and development to talented pupils through our scholarship programme and wide range of GCSE and A Level options.

Our students learn and perform in Finborough’s state-of-the-art performing arts facilities, completed in 2023. These include a professional theatre, rehearsal rooms, and dedicated spaces for dance and music creating an environment where creativity thrives. Whether performing in major school productions such as The Addams Family, Frozen or Grease, or participating in lunchtime recitals and end-of-year showcases, every student has the opportunity to confidently develop their performance skills.

Finborough offers Drama as a GCSE option and at A Level there are two options; Performing Arts Level 3 Qualification or the Gold Arts Award & Trinity Acting.
