St Edmund's

We are proud to announce that St. Edmund’s Canterbury has been recognised as one of the top drama boarding schools in the UK by Academic Families. This prestigious recognition highlights the strength of our Drama Department, the quality of our teaching, and the exceptional opportunities available to our pupils in the performing arts.

At St. Edmund’s, drama is more than just an extracurricular activity—it is a vital part of a pupil’s development, fostering creativity, confidence, and teamwork. We believe in nurturing young talent both on and off the stage, offering pupils the chance to explore acting, directing, set design, lighting, and sound production.

Our highly successful Drama Department is supported by outstanding teaching staff, many of whom have backgrounds as professional actors and performers. This wealth of experience allows pupils to learn from industry experts, refining their skills and gaining real-world insight into the world of theatre and performance. As a result, students achieve highly in drama exams, with many progressing to study at leading drama schools and universities.

Beyond the classroom, pupils at St. Edmund’s benefit from a rich programme of theatrical experiences. We offer excursions to major theatre hubs, with past trips extending as far as Broadway and Los Angeles. These experiences provide pupils with a deeper understanding of professional performing life, exposing them to world-class productions and behind-the-scenes insights.

With excellent facilities, a dedicated team of passionate drama specialists, and opportunities to perform at renowned festivals and world-class drama performances St. Edmund’s is the ideal place for aspiring performers and theatre professionals. Whether pupils dream of taking centre stage or excelling behind the scenes, they are given every opportunity to thrive in our dynamic and supportive environment.

We are delighted to be recognised among the best drama boarding schools in the UK. To read more about this achievement, visit the full blog post here: https://academicfamilies.com/blog-top-10-drama-boarding-schools-uk/.
