Testbourne has a strength in the Performing Arts and our aim is to provide students with as many opportunities to perform on professional platforms. We feel strongly that the Performing Arts can offer something for all, so we therefore aim to offer something for all to a high standard.
Students in every year group have the opportunity to shine on stage as dancers, actors, singers and musicians, and also behind the scenes, taking on roles as lighting designers, sound technicians, stage managers and set designers.
The Performing Arts Faculty lead a variety of productions every year, from Dance Showcases to Carol Services and Summer Concerts, and our whole school musicals. Our most recent whole-school musicals have included Matilda Junior - The Musical, Footloose, We Will Rock You, and School of Rock.
Extra curricular activities play a prominent part in school life, with a wide range of performing arts groups for students to participate in, including Brass Ensemble, Choir, Folk Club, Soul Band, School of Rock, Strings group, Shakespeare Schools Festival group, and Testbourne Youth Theatre. We participate in a number of community events each year such as the Whitchurch Folk Festival and the school Carol Service at All Hallows Church.
