Subject Aims
Drama seeks to promote well rounded practitioners and individuals who thrive and succeed within our group based classroom. We offer qualifications which are inspiring and creative, and which reflect the evolving world of theatre. We strive to promote the transferable skills inherent within the subject including team work, communication, confidence and leadership. Drama is a rigorous and academic subject, especially at the highest level, and we will continue to promote the subjects as such. There is an inclusion of a wide range of theatre practitioners within the curriculum to ensure students have a detailed knowledge and understanding of the full subject area.
