DRAMA

Our vision is for all students to experience drama as a powerful tool to explore and question the world by stepping into others’ shoes. This core belief aims to instil a passion for Drama and Theatre. Our lessons foster respect, encouraging students to take risks, ask questions, and develop empathy. Through issue-based units, students cultivate compassion, patience, understanding, generosity, and resilience, becoming lifelong learners. Our curriculum enables students to understand drama as an art form, use performance skills independently, and become reflective practitioners.

They gain cultural capital by studying practitioners, playwrights, staging, history, styles, and genres. Analytical and evaluative skills are developed both practically and in writing, preparing students for further study at GCSE. Our mission is to nurture students’ creativity and ensure progress in both practical and academic aspects of drama. Beyond studying plays and performing, drama teaches responsibility, empathy, problem-solving, risk-taking, and resilience. It explores society, history, relationships, and communication, helping students understand each other and the wider world.
