Course summary

During the 2 year course pupils explore a wide range of theatre practices using practical skills to support, develop and challenge theatre theory. Pupils investigate the core syllabus areas from the perspectives of creator, designer, director and performer. The course is pupil led and together we look at every aspect of theatre from unfamiliar traditions to post-modern theatre practice. The course is 100% coursework - there is no final exam. The course develops skills in performance as well as performance analysis and critical evaluation. Pupils work in collaboration with each other as well as developing their own identity as an emerging theatre maker.

Entry requirements

You should be predicted and expect to achieve at least a grade 7 at GCSE in any subjects you intend to study at IB Higher Level. That raises to an 8 for the three traditional sciences and a 9 is required for Higher Level Maths. If you are concerned that you may not be able to achieve the required grade, you should consult with the relevant Head of Department as to your acceptance on to a Sixth Form course. Under such circumstances the Head of Department will reflect upon prior attitude to learning and contribution to a positive classroom environment. In the case of “new” subjects in the Sixth Form, we ask for at least a 7 in a related GCSE subject. For Theatre and Art History, this is English. For Philosophy and Global Politics this is English or History and for Economics, pupils require a grade 7 at GCSE in Maths and English.
