Have you a budding actor? Schools Plus proudly host a Helen O’grady Drama School Saturday mornings. They use a large purpose built drama studio fully equipped with lights and stage blocks.
Who is the Helen O’Grady Drama group?
Established in 1979 internationally and running since 1994 in the UK, The Helen O’Grady Drama Academy offers a very successful and affordable developmental drama programme for 2½ to 18 year olds.
Our drama classes help to boost confidence, build self-esteem and improve verbal communicative skills with an emphasis on FUN! All of our specially trained teachers follow a unique, structured, professional curriculum that explores voice, movement and creative drama. Youth Theatre students will find our curriculum very beneficial if they are studying Drama at G.C.S.E and ‘A’ Level.
Our Academy year is divided into 3 terms: Terms 1 and 2 are devoted to an extensive developmental programme and Term 3 aims to amalgamate many of the drama skills taught during the year into a short scripted play to be performed at our end of term Summer Productions. Certificates and yearly awards are presented on stage at the conclusion of the show, which is always a rewarding experience for everyone involved.
We truly believe that enthusiastic students who can speak out clearly and relate confidently with their peers, develop skills that make the journey through life much easier.
