Throughout the Lower Sixth you will be immersed in practical theatre, challenging preconceptions and exploring a range of styles. We will work on enhancing your performance skills through team activities, including a field trip to London. You will study a number of masterpieces and their influence on the world of theatre, performing key extracts from plays. At the start of Upper Sixth you will focus on set text, ‘Metamorphosis’ by Steven Berkoff. ‘Metamorphosis’ is based on a short story by Franz Kafka in which a young man turns into a beetle. The play has a highly surreal feel to it, and is an opportunity for students to explore Berkoff’s unique physical style. It satirizes how society operates, depicting the common man being crushed by the oppressive constraints of the modern-day world.
The general requirement for a place in the Sixth Form is: • A minimum of six passes at GCSE (5-9) • In addition, each department has a particular entry requirement of either a 6 or 7 for subjects to be studied at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies which have not been studied previously should show proficiency in similar subjects.
