Drama

Drama is a vibrant part of the curriculum here which is taught as a discrete subject in every year group and there are many exciting extra-curricular projects that are open to all students within the school.

Drama is assessed using the Arts Council levels at Key Stage 3. Our regularly revised schemes of work support transition from Key Stage 2 to 3 and facilitate progression to Key Stage 4. In Key Stage 4, students are given an opportunity to undertake BTEC First Certificate or Diploma in Performing Arts. These excellent vocational courses create constant performance opportunities for pupils to develop and enhance their skills and develop their understanding of the Performing Arts Business.

In Key Stage 5 BTEC National Certificate and Diplomas are taught providing opportunities for sixth formers to further enhance their performance skills and prepare for university or vocational opportunities in theatre or television. We are regular participants in 'Rock Challenge', a national dance/drama competition, and host a range of community performance work throughout the year. We have a strong commitment to the students in our care, and enjoy the interaction that school productions and workshop events provide.
