Our Expressive Arts department has modern facilities, part of our extensive building and redevelopment programme. The purpose built accommodation includes a 120 seat theatre, dedicated studio spaces for drama and dance, full equipped photography and television studios, music practice rooms and an editing suite. This provides an excellent learning environment for our students and also enables us to run a successful calendar of productions and performances.
