This is a fantastic course for anyone who has a passion or love for Drama and wants to study it at the next level. This course allows you to perform, analyse, devise and direct many different styles of theatre. The course is broken down into four units, Investigating Practitioners, Developing Skills and Techniques for Live Performance, Group Performance Workshop and an optional unit. These units equip you with a wide range of knowledge and skills in Performing Arts but are also a nice balance between theory and practical work. As part of this course we will plan regular visits to the theatre to see live performances and take part in many workshops.
- We would be expecting students to have gained a Level 2 Merit or above at BTEC Level 1 and 2 or a grade 5 or above at GCSE Drama. - You must have achieved 5 passes including mathematics and English, where a pass is defined as GCSE 9-4 and pass or better at level 2 BTEC.
The National Extended Certificate in Performing Arts is made up of 4 units of which 2 are externally assessed by Pearson (1 each year) and 2 internally assessed by the Performing Arts department in school and moderated by the exam board. This course is designed to be taken as part of a programme of study that includes other appropriate BTEC Nationals or A levels. Students will be assessed every 6 weeks in line with our Praising Stars system in the Academy and this data will be shared with home. This will give us a clear indication of what level the student is working at and where and when specific intervention is needed.
