Drama and Theatre provides a fantastic curriculum to ignite and engage pupils’ creativity, passion, and interests. It will provide pupils opportunities to interrogate drama and the work of others, to explore a range of drama as a practical art form, and to work independently to create their own drama performances making informed artistic choices.
Academic assessment will be based on GCSE predictions and results. Pupils wishing to enter the 6th Form to study A-levels or BTECs should have a minimum of 7 GCSEs, including English and Mathematics, at levels 5 or above and at least three, usually in the subjects to be studied, at level 6 or above. Pupils with lower grades may still be offered a place in the 6th Form to study alternatives to A-levels dependent upon individual areas of expertise and aptitude.
This course consists of three components that are externally assessed and one component that is assessed by the centre and externally moderated by OCR. Practitioners in practice (Devised Performance exam) is internally assessed. This component consists of a research report, a portfolio and a performance. 40% of the qualification. Exploring and performing texts (Scripted Performance exam) is externally assessed. This component is non-exam assessment and consists of a pro forma completed by learners before a performance for a visiting examiner. 20% of the qualification. Analysing performance is an examined component consisting of extended response essay questions. 20% of the qualification. Deconstructing texts for performance is an examined component, consisting of an annotation of an extract from the text and an extended response question. 20% of the qualification.
