Creativity

Creativity is one of our School Values and we see it in bucketloads in our pupils across the school! The Creative and Performing Arts are very much part of life at Shebbear College and we offer a varied programme of co-curricular activities, giving all pupils the opportunity to find something to suit them. There is so much on offer here, and passion and creativity for Art, Music and Drama can be felt throughout the school.

Each year, we hold a big Senior School Musical Production, which is always hugely popular – both with the audiences and with our students wanting to be involved! We let the students have a say in which show we choose, and try to choose well known and popular productions. In recent years we have performed the iconic shows ‘Les Misérables’ and ‘West Side Story’, both with a huge cast of over 70 children! Our production for 2026 is the hilarious Sister Act!

We also hold a Middle School production in the summer, which includes pupils from Prep 3 through to Form 2, giving our younger children the chance to be a part of a show with a real theatre experience. In recent years, we have performed The Lion King Jr. and Mary Poppins Jr., with our Middle School Production for 2026 being Matilda.

Our pupils have the chance to develop and excel as performers, directors and set designers in our various productions and concerts, boosting their confidence and learning new skills.
