Drama and Theatre Studies

Assessment

There will be a written examination at the end of year 13 (Component 3 – Theatre Makers in Performance). Other assessments include a written portfolio and performance (Component 1) which is internally assessed and externally moderated. At the end of year 13 students will receive a final A Level grade. It is important to note that the non-examined element of this course accounts for 60% of the exam grade and is a demanding aspect of the course. All of the course units require a written and/or performance element and strict deadlines must be adhered to. Students are provided with written and practical support from staff through verbal, written and practical formats.
