We want students to have access to a broad and ambitious Drama curriculum, which embeds skills and knowledge of theatre and performance, whilst further developing their passion for the Arts. As a department we strive to get students to explore social issues, topical events and cultural differences through the means of Drama. Introducing them to various plays, playwrights and practitioners, whilst using relevant stimuli to create practical work from. Through written work we aim to develop students’ analysis and evaluation skills, which can then be used across many subjects. Drama can help create independent learners, critical thinkers and effective decision makers, all personal attributes that can make them stand out as they progress through their education and into employment.
