Theatre
Drama Department
Drama is a well-established and popular subject within the Performing Arts faculty. It is taught one lesson a week within the Key Stage 3 syllabus and as an option at GCSE and A Level.
The ethos of the Drama Department is to provide fun, active lessons and to give students an opportunity to understand themselves as decision-makers and problem solvers; a place where they can learn to function collaboratively and can explore - within a supportive framework - not only a range of human feelings, but also a whole spectrum of social situations and/or moral dilemmas.
One of the best things about this subject is the incredible live performance opportunities students have in our versatile theatre space inside and outside of lessons. We have a fully equipped theatre that allows students to experience the adrenaline of performing in front of a live audience. We also offer endless extra-curriculum opportunities to see live theatre and perform in outreach programmes.
