The course demands practical, creative and written communication skills in almost equal measure. You will extend your ability to create drama and theatre by exploring the work of existing practitioners and applying their ideas and methodologies. You will explore two plays in detail from the perspective of a performer /Director and Designer and will complete an external exam based on this knowledge. The course will involve seeing and responding to live theatre as well as creating and performing in it.
To study A Level courses, students need to achieve at least five Grade 6s as a basic entry level. However, if students wish to study one of the three A Level sciences, they must achieve a minimum of a GCSE grade 7 in the science they wish to study. If a student wishes to study A Level Maths, they must achieve a GCSE grade 7 in Maths and to study Further Maths, students must achieve a minimum of a Grade 8 in GCSE Maths. Individual circumstances may be considered when students have performed well in talent subjects e.g. Art, Drama, Photography. A Grade 5 at Drama GCSE is desirable and a Grade 5 or above in GCSE English is essential. An active interest in performing and an enthusiasm for theatre and developing your skills is required.
