OCR’s A Level in Drama & Theatre has been designed to be a practical, engaging and creative specification. It provides students with opportunities to interrogate drama and the work of others, to explore a range of drama as a practical art form, and to work independently to create their own drama performances making informed artistic choices. The main purpose of this qualification is to allow students to study drama and theatre in an academic setting, interrogating this art form and applying their knowledge and understanding to the process of creating and developing drama and theatre and to their own performance work. It also prepares students for the further study of Drama or Performing Arts courses in Higher Education as well as developing transferable skills desired by all sectors of the industry. The course creates independent learners, critical thinkers and effective decision makers – all personal attributes that can make them stand out as they progress through their education and into employment.
Preferably you will have a Grade 7 or above in GCSE Drama and in English too. The subject is assessed on performance and essay writing and you need to be proficient in both of these. However, we are always willing to discuss your suitability for the subject in more detail.
