Drama and Theatre Studies

Course summary

At A level, pupils will thrive studying Drama if they are creative and dedicated. Whilst having studied Drama at GCSE is not a requirement, the A-level course follows much the same structure and it is certainly beneficial. Drama students should be diligent, and willing to work in a variety of groups and love stories and storytelling. They should also be willing to participate in extracurricular Drama and contribute to the promotion of Drama around the school. There is a huge variety of options available for those who study Drama at A level. As well as reading Drama at university or going to drama school, the skills that are developed in Drama are also hugely beneficial for a range of other subjects and careers. Any career that involves communication, creativity or collaboration would be aided by the skills that you gain from this subject. Law, business, teaching, care – the list is endless. Drama is also incredibly useful for looking at the world through different lenses, exploring thoughts and stories, and learning about the world we live in.
