Drama is an increasingly popular course of study at GCSE, offering pupils an exciting, inspiring and practical course as they explore how theatre is made and communicated to an audience. The specification promotes involvement in and enjoyment of drama, as performers and/or designers as well as opportunities to attend live theatre performances to develop skills as informed and thoughtful audience members. As pupils progress through the course, they will be given opportunities to participate in and interpret their own and others’ drama. Pupils will investigate a theatre practitioner or genre of drama, work collaboratively to develop ideas to communicate meaning and to produce and perform a piece of original theatre.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
