Drama

Drama is taught as part of the Performing Arts curriculum, alongside Music.

The main focus of the subject is to have fun, improve confidence and teamwork skills as well as gaining more of an understanding of theatre and performance.

Our topics cover key Drama skills and play texts in each year. Practical activities range from character development to physical theatre and mask work – something for everyone! Our most popular units at KS3 are ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time’. Practical work is completed in groups, so it’s important to work on listening and communicating skills too.

In Year 9 we run the Bronze Arts Award, providing an opportunity for every student to gain an external qualification in the Arts.

A Key Stage 3 Drama club runs at points during the year and students can also get involved in productions and the inter-house Performing Arts Cup.
