This subject provides an opportunity to study a range of dramatic elements from the points of view of a performer, director, designer and critic. Students acquire a knowledge and understanding of the language of drama and theatre and develop performance and analytical skills – on the stage and on the page. Individual creativity is nurtured together with the challenges of collaboration both practically and academically. The course is supported by an extensive co-curricular Drama programme. This diverse and popular activity is open to all and proves invaluable to Drama students in terms of understanding how a production is brought to the stage and an audience. There are opportunities for Sixth Formers to direct productions and this can be as part of an Extended Project Qualification (EPQ).
Although it is useful to have taken Drama at GCSE (and attained at least a 6), it is not essential. The need to write fluently means that at least a grade 6 in GCSE English is expected, however. The course may be taken by those seeking diversity in their Sixth Form studies; equally it may be taken in combination with other humanities subjects, although there is a distinctly different approach and set of skills required given the practical elements of the course.
