Drama and Theatre Studies

Entry Requirements

In order to proceed automatically to the Sixth Form, a student must achieve a minimum of six (1)GCSEs at grade 6/B, and in most cases, a grade 7/A or higher in the subjects chosen to study at A-Level. A-level mathematics and Further Mathematics have higher requirements. Subjects that are new at A-Level will have requirements from (1)GCSEs that assess appropriate skills, e.g. Economics requires a grade 7 or higher in both English Language and Mathematics. Drama and Theatre students will need to have developed a series of performance and collaboration skills. Students should expect to write a formal record of their progress in a creative portfolio that documents the progression in ideas, themes, and dramatic influences so competent use of drama terminology is vital. A-Level Drama and Theatre extends on the foundation set in the IGCSE course with further opportunities to develop and refine their own perspective as young theatre makers. Participation in extra-curricular Drama and Theatre is also beneficial.
