English and Theatre in Winchester

Bravo to our students!

On the English & Theatre programme at our Winchester Junior Centre, students developed their skills in singing, dancing and acting while working towards a final show. In August, following two weeks of workshops and rehearsals, they performed a vibrant adaptation of Wicked—and we’re delighted to share the highlights below.

 

What the course involves

  • – 15 hours of General English + 9 hours of theatre sessions per week
  • – Weekly trips and a range of evening activities
  • – Workshops in voice, movement and character
  • – Rehearsals led by a drama professional
  • – A weekly open class to share what you’ve achieved with friends and staff

Why theatre boosts your English

  • – Confidence: you practise speaking on stage in a supportive setting
  • – Fluency & pronunciation: memorising lines and rehearsing delivery helps natural rhythm and intonation
  • – Vocabulary & listening: working with a script builds vocabulary and active listening skills
  • – Teamwork & communication: you collaborate and solve problems together
