SandPit Theatre
The School has used its status as an Arts College to build and maintain a professional quality theater on site. Opened in 2001 (at a cost of £1,000,000) the SandPit is used by school and community alike and regularly hosts high quality productions and charity events, such as the Christmas 2007 pantomime featuring students and staff. The SandPit is also used as a teaching space and as a venue for school assemblies.

Famous quotes containing the word theatre:
“Mankind’s common instinct for reality ... has always held the world to be essentially a theatre for heroism. In heroism, we feel, life’s supreme mystery is hidden. We tolerate no one who has no capacity whatever for it in any direction. On the other hand, no matter what a man’s frailties otherwise may be, if he be willing to risk death, and still more if he suffer it heroically, in the service he has chosen, the fact consecrates him forever.”
—William James (1842–1910)
