Culture

The cultural life of Woodhill pupils is an extremely important part of the school curriculum and all pupils are expected to participate fully in all areas of Art, Music and Drama. Drama is a vital component of this aspect of school life. Every year pupils are involved in a school production or International Evening.

Cultural evenings and talent shows give the pupils the opportunity to experience the inter- dependence of all that they do at school and that drama is not just a recreational activity but a reflection of life. Music on the other hand, "expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent." (Victor Hugo)

The music experience at Woodhill will hopefully lead to a lifelong love for and involvement in music, giving pupils the opportunity to start off their careers from a very young age. Our music and art programmes are an important component of learning and success and have become a natural part of our school day. Music is exciting. It crosses borders, turns frowns into smiles and it is a language everyone speaks and understands! Art education is a very significant part of any child’s development. It encourages aesthetic appreciation and self-expression in children. It builds their confidence and allows them to express themselves with honesty, perceptiveness and sensitivity.

At Woodhill, creativity is encouraged and art lessons are varied and challenging, allowing for creative expression in a structured environment. Imagination, inventiveness, problem solving and sharing of thoughts and ideas are encouraged. Various mediums are presented and explored. These include painting, drawing, embossing, printing, etching and 3-Dimensional design.

Our Vision - to provide Music, Art and Drama education to pupils of all ages.

Our Mission - to give every pupil the chance and opportunity to experience Music, Art and Drama.

Our Objective - to be passionate and create a love and appreciation for Music, Art and Drama.
