Produced as part of Theatre in Education (TIE), all the shows involve audience participation.
As well as learning about subjects and issues through drama, a spokesman for the academy said the participating students were also developing other social and interactive skills.
Sam Bridges, a drama teacher at John Cabot, said: "The students are really looking forward to performing these plays and they have worked extremely hard.
"As an academy we are very aware that some pupils handle the transition between primary and secondary very well.
"We hope to alleviate some of the fears that some pupils have and hopefully these interactive fun plays will go some way in doing that."
