Speech and drama

Rydal Penrhos Preparatory School has a strong tradition in Drama. Extra-curricular clubs run throughout the term for any interested pupils from Reception through to Year 6. The days and times of these vary from term to term but usually last for an hour a week. It is the policy of Rydal Penrhos Preparatory School to ensure that every single child in the school appears on stage at least once during an academic year. We hold three productions a year; The PrePrep Nativity in December, a full musical production for Years 3 and 4 in March and a similar show for Years 5 and 6 in June. We also run Speech and Drama classes for our older pupils which teaches them projection, diction and dramatic poise and we have in the past entered children into competitions and festivals around the North West area.
