Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

At A-Level we continue to follow the WJEC Eduqas specification studied at GCSE which is designed to promote a balance between practical theatre making and the theoretical understanding of drama and theatre. This stimulating and engaging course encourages learners to make connections between dramatic theory and their own practice. The Drama and Theatre course is split into three components which equate to 60% practical with supporting evidence and 40% in the final written exam. Again, as with the GCSE course it is possible for students to choose to be assessed on a technical/ design skill rather than acting.
