In Drama, students will create, perform and respond to drama and theatre and develop the creativity and independence to become an effective theatre maker. Explore the relationship between theory and practice in a range of theatrical styles and periods and historical, social and cultural contexts. Learn to research and develop independent thought and analysis of live theatre production to inform decision making in their practical work. Drama helps you to develop confidence and communication skills; teamwork and collaboration; time management and organisational skills; self-awareness and self-discipline; an open mind, and the ability to move beyond boundaries and experiment with different ideas; analytical research skills; the ability to cope with criticism and develop because of it; creativity.
It follows from this that in our professional judgement there is a minimum standard which students need to achieve before we can allow them to enter the Sixth Form. Students wishing to enter Wellingborough Sixth Form in September 2023 should have achieved at least four Grade 6s and two Grade 5s at GCSE, although individuals falling below this will be considered if their personal circumstances and/or specific distribution of grades suggest that A level study would be appropriate. In reality, we have found that falling below a top grade in a subject which will be followed at A level is unlikely to lead to anything above a C Grade at the end of two years. No student will be accepted onto an A Level Mathematics course with anything below Grade 7. For fresh-start subjects, GCSE performance in English and/or Mathematics may be used by the School to assess suitability. In addition, any student who does not gain at least Grade 4 in English Language or a Grade 4 in Mathematics will be expected to retake these subject exams. This tariff is applied in the students’ own long-term interests. Should your son/daughter fall short of these requirements, Mr Holman – Headmaster, Mrs Baxby – Head of Sixth Form and Mrs Gamble – Deputy Head, Academic, will be available on Results Day when any relevant discussions can take place.
