Course summary

You may be keen on acting, writing or on the visual and technical side of theatre and wish to develop your skills in some or all these areas. The qualification is designed to enable you to acquire a knowledge and understanding of the language of drama and theatre as well as to develop your performing and analytical skills. It also has excellent transferable skills such as: • To work with rigour; • To communicate effectively; • To work collaboratively; • To use approaches from a range of disciplines; • To connect your studies to the world around you. It is also great fun! There are many organised trips to the theatre and visiting practitioners. These will incur extra costs yet provide invaluable knowledge and experiences to inform your own practice.

Entry requirements

We expect a grade 7 in GCSE Drama and/or English. You must be prepared to talk and write articulately about historical and political ideas. You will be required to test your own ideas in a practical, physical setting, often involving some difficult decisions, made in a group and under an immense amount of pressure. It is important that you are interested in gaining a greater understanding of how theatre and plays work and that you are keen to be involved with performances. You need to be curious about issues and ideas and have a creative instinct for communicating your views through drama.

How you'll be assessed

The course is assessed through a combination of written course work, in conjunction with practical examinations and one written exam at the end of Year 13.
