Drama GCSE

The course further develops the Drama skills of improvisation, role play, discussion work, creative writing, script study and research as experienced in Years 7, 8 and 9.

Drama is a collaborative activity and students must be prepared to work in a co-operative and sensitive manner with all members of the group – hence the subject also develops social skills.

There are opportunities for students to watch theatrical performances and potential residential trips during the course, some of which involve a small cost.

There are 3 components to assessment. Students are required to devise a group piece and produce a written portfolio of the process. They will then perform two short script performances and complete a 1½ hour written exam.
