The course is an academic and practical study of the theatrical arts. It provides pupils with the opportunity to study play texts, create performances, evaluate their own work and research the theories behind the practice of making. The subject is a collaborative enterprise where pupils are expected to communicate effectively, support their peers and manage their own time. The course covers all aspects of theatre and pupils have an opportunity to be examined in the practical units on performance or a technical element. Pupils learn many transferable skills which will benefit them beyond school, such as presentation skills, problem solving, creative thought and project management; they are encouraged to see as much theatre as possible and have the benefit of quality performances in The Stahl as well as a frequent trips to the theatre and professional workshops.
The minimum entry requirement is three subjects in Grade 6 and three in Grade 7, or equivalent, at GCSE (including Mathematics and English). It is highly desirable to have a Grade 7, 8 or 9 in the subjects to be taken at Sixth Form and, in practice, most successful candidates will have an 8 or 9 or equivalent in most subjects.
