Fettes Prep School Drama aims to be an exciting labyrinth; full of adventure, fantasy, exploration and play. Before any attempt is made to entice the children into the magical world of drama, creating a safe and secure learning environment is paramount. Only once the pupils feel suitably comfortable and at ease, will they be able to learn. Many performance related skills fundamentally require a foundation of confidence, which the drama department aims to provide and encourage at all times through play, stories, suspension of reality, social activity, rules and conventions and most of all….fun!

As well as a myriad of exciting classroom activities, there are also many opportunities for Fettes Prep School Drama students to experience performing in front of an audience.  The M,P & S Form take to the stage in December each year to get the festive season off to a glittery start with their exciting Christmas plays.  Rehearsals begin early in the New Year for the older pupils as they prepare for the annual School Play, where there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to get involved both on the stage and behind the scenes.
