Drama

Our Curriculum Intent

The Drama department will bring out the best by ensuring students have access to a broad and ambitious Drama curriculum which embeds skills and knowledge of the theatre and performance. In turn this will enable students to develop a love of performing as a TRA artist. At its heart, our drama curriculum will give students the opportunity to develop core transferable skills that underpin successful drama and allow students to develop their individual character, including their confidence, resilience and independence.

The study of drama will also enable students to:

- devise creative and imaginative performance

- apply a range of conventions and styles to structure innovative performance

- interpret and perform a range of existing scripts applying their own artistic vision

- develop written evaluative skills embedded with subject specific language

- appreciate live performance

- participate in a range of performance genres, through performance and technical support

- understand the process of planning, rehearsing and reviewing performance

- in talk, articulate and express their ideas, views and opinions about a wide range of topics and issues clearly, confidently and respectfully

-develop their individual character, including their confidence, resilience and independence contributing positively to the life of the school

- explore contemporary issues, in a safe and environment

- empathise and engage with others outside their own social, cultural and historical setting
