Curriculum Intent
Year 7 Year 8 Year 9 Year 10 Year 11
KS3
KS3 students study Drama once a week (Year 7 students as part of a rotation). The practical lessons enable students to learn important transferable skills including working in a group, leadership, public speaking, confidence, empathy, resilience, creative thinking, effective communication and time-management. In Year 8 students develop their analytical and evaluative skills further by completing written tasks in preparation for the GCSE course.
GCSE
Students should have an interest in working in a creative way to present ideas in a dramatic form for an audience. An enthusiasm for theatre and the varied design aspects of theatrical production is desirable. Students must be prepared to take responsibility for working with a group towards a final performance, using their organisation and communication skills. It is vital that students are confident in performing in front of an audience. Students must also be able to document their practical work and keep a detailed and specific written account of their practical development.
