Each year since the early 1960s the school has staged a public production. Past shows include: "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Back to the 80s", Les Miserables", "Fame", "Grease", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "The Sound of Music". In 1999, following the March production, the cast of "Grease" travelled to the London Palladium to represent the North-East as part of an afternoon performance celebrating the 100th anniversary of N.O.D.A. The cast performed a 10-minute excerpt of "Myth!", written by a pupil and a school teacher.
