Course summary

Plays and performance will take you into other worlds, help you empathise with other lives and inspire you to communicate in other ways. Drama and Theatre Studies is skill and theory based learning, where each element supports and enriches the other.

Entry requirements

All offers are then subject to candidates achieving a minimum of seven GCSE Grades 9 - 4 (or equivalent), together with appropriate facilitating grades in subjects related to their choice of A level subjects (see 6th Form prospectus for more information). A genuine interest in the subject and a real enthusiasm for, and dedication to, plays, productions and those you will be working with, is essential. We will look for a grade 6 or above in Drama GCSE (or, if you have not taken it, a grade 6 in English GCSE).

How you'll be assessed

Exploration of texts and their themes as well as class analysis of professional productions will culminate in written exams. The group productions, both devised and scripted, are assessed as full performances with each individual being marked on a skill (Acting or Technical) alongside research reports and portfolios that justify the theory behind practical decisions. Theatre Practitioners are also studied in depth and the skill of Directing. Students will be charged for theatre trips and one residential trip per year.
