Drama is offered to pupils in years one and two in the form of a double lesson every week. The sessions are practically based and offer a wide range of experience to the pupils.
Drama GCSE is also offered and is a popular choice as a fourth-form option. The syllabus offers a good balance of practical and text based work. The variety of tasks set is challenging but offers a wide range of skills and knowledge.
Theatre studies is offered at AS and A2. This course provides the opportunity to continue from GCSE or start from scratch. Both practical and theoretical aspects of the course are balanced equally and offer a varied range of material to work from.
Candidates have the opportunity to specialise in acting, lighting, set design or costume design for their practical assessed work.
