Drama and Theatre Studies

Entry Requirements

The vast majority of Upper Fifth (Year 11) pupils at Exeter School continue into the sixth form but there has also been a long tradition of a significant number of new entrants from other schools. To qualify for entry into the Lower Sixth, applicants and current Upper Fifth pupils need to achieve a minimum of three grade 7 and three grade 6 GCSEs as well as passing GCSE English and mathematics and have a positive reference/school record (that includes conduct, attendance and punctuality). There is no stereotypical pupil of drama and theatre studies. A GCSE in drama is not required, although is beneficial. However, an interest in theatre, an imagination, a readiness to engage in independent research and an enthusiasm to work with others are all essential qualities.
