DRAMA - GCSE

GCSE Drama is NOT an easy option! However, there is no doubt that it can be one of the most exciting and fulfilling experiences you will ever have. It requires self-discipline, self-reliance and a desire to work as a team. These skills, and many others, will develop throughout the course, but it is important to have the correct attitude from the start. It is also important to realise that you will need to spend time working outside of the lesson, rehearsing, researching, designing and planning your work as well as seeing live theatre. There will be a huge number of opportunities for you, including performances, theatre trips and working with professional actors/performers. This new specification offers genuinely exciting new opportunities and, due to the reduction of coursework, less written work than the previous specification (although there is still some!!!)

Assessment is completed over three Components and the marks are awarded as follows:
