Introducing . . . Charlotte Horton, Teacher of Drama

I am really excited to join the fantastic Drama Department here at JAGS.

While studying Drama and English Literature at the University of Manchester I developed a passion for theatre; I loved being involved in musicals such as Titanic and Company and enjoyed both challenging myself in acting and directing roles.

After graduating, I spent a year travelling and working for an event management company but I knew that teaching was something that I wanted to pursue. I completed my PGCE at UCL before going on to work as at Bridge Academy in Hackney for three years.

Since joining JAGS, I have been completely blown away by the passion, desire and joy the students have for creating theatre. It has been fantastic to see students explore spooky Darkwood Manor, become Enola Holmes, and get involved in our film course. The co-curricular opportunities at JAGS in Drama are fantastic and I am very much looking forward to supporting and showcasing the students work in the Performing Arts Festival, as well as in the Year 7 and 8 Junior production next year.
