This Eduqas specification is designed to promote an excellent balance between practical theatre-making and the theoretical understanding of drama and theatre. This stimulating and engaging course of study encourages learners to make connections between dramatic theory and their practice. Learners study five performance texts representing a range of social, historical and cultural contexts; key extracts are studied for performance. Learners also produce three performances: a devised performance, a creative reinterpretation of an extract from the text, and a scripted piece. There will be a good deal of physical work. More traditional discussions, notes and essays still have their place and there will be a balance throughout the course on preparaƟon for the written and practical elements of the assessments. The course will involve several theatre trips to see as much theatre as possible in a variety of diverse styles. Students also get the opportunity to work with professionals and to interview them in Q&A sessions pre or post-production.
Applicants who wish to join us in the Sixth Form have the opportunity to attend a Sixth Form Open Evening. They will then be invited into school to meet Mr Softley, our Assistant Head (Sixth Form & Futures), followed by an invitation to attend our Sixth Form Taster Day. An offer will be made subject to our entry requirements of at least 5 GCSEs grade 4 or above (including at least a 6/B grade in chosen A level subjects).
