At Guillemont, Performing Arts are an integral part of the curriculum. Each year, our students perform in their own musical production, showcasing their talents and teamwork on stage. We offer a range of instrumental lessons, empowering students to explore their musical interests and hone their skills.

There are many opportunities for children to engage with the performing arts at Guillemont across all subjects.  Whether incorporating drama into English lessons as a hook for writing, a way of retelling familiar stories and exploring characters, or through a Wider Curriculum subject, providing the children with an immersive experience and greater insight into a new topic, such as Ancient Greece.

In our final term, Year 6 take to the stage with their end of year production, with performances that are usually musically themed. Our children create the entire production themselves, from costume making, writing programmes, set construction and of course the acting and singing.

In addition to theatrical performances, our classes put on weekly assemblies for parents, carers and the rest of the school community. The children learn and perform short scripts and songs and share the work they have been currently learning. These assemblies are wonderful celebrations of all our children’s hard work and an opportunity to share all of the fascinating things they have learnt through performance.

Moreover, the school offers a variety of extracurricular activities such as the Gremlin Dance Challenge and participation in Young Voices, fostering curiosity and responsibility.
