Since the emphasis in most GCSE Drama and Theatre Arts courses is on improvisation, devised work and/or performing, the A Level in Drama and Theatre deliberately focuses on working with plays. In this way the course aims to bridge the gap between GCSE and A Level Drama by providing an opportunity to study plays from the point of view of the director, designer, performer and critic. The qualification is designed to enable students to acquire a knowledge and understanding of the language of drama and theatre as well as to develop their performing and analytical skills.
- GCSE Grade 6 or above in Drama. - An average point score of 4.5, or above, and a minimum of a Grade 4 in English and Mathematics is required to study three A Levels.
In Year 12, Unit 1 will be internally assessed by the teacher and externally moderated. In Year 13 there is an externally assessed practical exam and a written exam.
