Impact Statement

The Hammond offers various performing arts opportunities to both state schools and the wider community. Our drama students take a play out to local primary schools during the summer term and then undertake a workshop with the students.

The Hammond Youth Theatre is a group which meets on a Saturday at school in term time and is open to everyone (general public) with an interest in drama. Our dance associate programme invites students from outside the school, on nine Sundays a year, to join classes taught by our professionally trained staff. Eighty students benefit from this teaching.

Theatre shows are offered to local primary schools free of charge for them to watch in our Theatre. Well over one hundred and fifty students attended this summer with their teachers.

Easter and Summer courses are offered and open to the general public. Well over one hundred students attend these courses each year.

In partnership with Chester University, The Hammond runs a 3 year BA (Hons) degree in musical theatre performance. Over eighty students over three year groups.

Along with many other Cheshire Schools, The Hammond Prep is taking part in a singing project with 'Amasing'. One thousand pupils from other schools are involved.
