Current Oswestry
School pupil
I am passionate about
Performing Arts, it's a
large part of my life.
A new performing arts
centre will be a great
space for teamwork,
friendship and to be
creative.
The thought of
performing in a new
improved space is
exciting and something
to look forward to.
The opportunity to showcase our talents in an environment where
we can perform with larger groups of performers and spectators
will strengthen the school community and bring us together.

I joined
Oswestry School
as its reputation
for Performing
Arts provision
was recognised
nationally. I loved my
time here, and made great friends within the
department. The teachers and technical provision
are outstanding, however the facility does not
match the calibre of work that is being produced. I
am now studying in London, but am delighted
about the fact that a facility is on the horizon. I
wouldn't be where I am now without the team and
provision at Oswestry, and future students
deserve the very best.

Head Girl, Oswestry School
Drama and performance has always been close to my heart right
from when I was little. Being a shy and quiet child, getting up on
stage was one of the few things that truly brought me out of my shell
and allowed me to express myself. I know without a doubt that
Oswestry School’s drama department, along with Miss Thompson's
endless support and encouragement, enabled me to grow into the
person I am today. Drama allowed me to be truly in touch with my
emotions and develop a heightened sense of empathy.
Not only this, but drama connected me with people. Taking part in
school plays like Matilda and Chicago gave me a chance to get to
know others that I otherwise would have no particular reason to
interact with. Drama has played such a
vital yet perhaps underappreciated
role in bringing the school
together for years and years;
it's time now for the
department to be recognised
and rewarded for the
imperative work that it
does, developing
confidence, bringing pupils
together and providing
them with an outlet for all
of the stresses and
difficulties of school life
that young people
experience.
