Drama & Theatre Studies is one of the most varied, exciting and challenging A Level subjects. You’ll develop skills and confidence that will stand you in good stead whatever your career ambitions. Drama and Theatre Studies at A Level allows students to study the theoretical aspects of drama combined with a practical application of skills through performance. The qualification is designed to enable you to acquire a knowledge and understanding of the language of drama and theatre as well as to develop as an individual performer your analytical skills. You will practically explore plays, create original pieces of theatre, analyse your own work along with live productions in order to develop your understanding of the social, historical and cultural context of theatre.
Each year, we are delighted to welcome new students into our Sixth Form. All prospective Sixth Form students from other schools can enjoy a taster day at Stafford Grammar School and have an interview with the Head of Sixth Form. Offers of entry into the Sixth Form are then conditional upon GCSE results. A place in the Sixth Form is conditional upon students gaining at least 5 GCSEs at grade 4 or equivalent, including at least a grade 4 in Mathematics and English Language. Often there will be a requirement of the minimum of a grade 6 or equivalent for those subjects that the student wishes to study at AS level. For AS Mathematics, students must have followed the Higher Tier course and gained at least a grade 7 or equivalent. Any offer is also conditional upon a successful application including an interview and a satisfactory reference from the student’s current school. Almost everyone in the Lower Sixth Form studies four AS levels and the majority go on to study three A-level courses. Some students do continue with four A-levels, but this is dependent on academic and career aims.
