Welcome the Drama Department website.  Here you can find information on the curricular Drama courses offered in the school, important dates, extra-curricular Drama and teaching staff.  There are also links to other websites, course materials and a number of  photographs to look at.

Drama is taught to all students in Years Seven and Eight, and those in Year Nine and above can opt to take the subject.  We follow the AQA GCSE Drama course and the AQA Theatre Studies course at AS and A2 Level.  It is not vital for students to have taken Drama at GCSE in order to continue at A Level, but it is an advantage.

Our expectation, from students at all levels, is that they will give of their very best, respect those they work with, and ensure they conduct themselves in a safe and sensible manner.  Not everyone finds Drama easy, but in all the courses offered, including A Level, marks are awarded for elements besides performance.  Whilst the ability to act is helpful - particularly for examination courses - those students who do best in the subject are those who approach it with enthusiasm and a determination to succeed, and work co-operatively and sensitively with others.
