Anyone thinking Art is just splashing some paint onto paper would be wrong. At Queen Ethelburga’s, Art enhances and improves so much in a pupil. It develops the ability to think and act creatively, building sensory awareness and imagination by looking and seeing.

We therefore think Art is important. Students cover such topics as; Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Photography, Collage, Textiles, Design, Computer and raster generated images, Sculpture, Crafts, Architecture, Model making and Constructions.

Above all else Art develops creativity which spills over into so many other subject areas.

Drama classes in Queen Ethelburga's provide a safe environment for students to explore situations, roles and relationships derived from real and imaginary life. This can be for such purposes as communicating ideas and feelings to an audience, investigating possible causes and consequences, or exploring the use of language in different contexts

Drama provides students with the opportunity to develop a range of skills such as movement, mime, improvisation, play building, scriptwriting and public speaking.

The ability to communicate well is vital at all ages and never more so than later in adult life. An enjoyable early start in this area can develop confidence for years to come.

Appreciation of Drama is also important and many individuals have found their life long enjoyment of the theatre started when they were young.

Students are encouraged to work with confidence and enjoyment. Cooperation is fostered and each year level presents performances to the other students, parents and friends.
