At Our Lady & St Bede Catholic Academy, Performing Arts plays a vital role in enriching students’ educational experience, providing opportunities to develop confidence, creativity, teamwork and self-expression. Through participation in music, drama and performance, students are encouraged to discover new talents, step outside their comfort zones and showcase their abilities in ways that extend beyond the classroom.
Performing Arts offers every student the chance to shine, building valuable life skills while fostering a lifelong appreciation of the arts.
High School Musical
In July 2026, our talented students wowed audiences with a phenomenal production of High School Musical, performed over three sold-out evenings. Bringing the beloved story of Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez and the East High Wildcats to life, the cast and crew delivered an energetic, professional and thoroughly entertaining show that was enjoyed by all who attended. Their dedication, passion and hard work were evident in every performance, creating a truly memorable experience for audiences.
Alongside the evening performances, students also welcomed three local primary schools to special daytime productions, inspiring younger pupils and giving them a taste of the exciting Performing Arts opportunities available at Our Lady & St Bede Catholic Academy. These performances not only showcased the exceptional talent within our school community but also highlighted the power of Performing Arts to bring people together and inspire future generations.
