The A-level Drama course is exciting and challenging and suits anyone who is interested in theatre, design, social history, and culture. They are not, however, training grounds for actors, and as with any A Level, there is a significant amount of written work involved. The course includes opportunities for groups to perform or design for both scripted and devised pieces of drama as well as to work practically to unlock play texts and their political and social value.
5 grade 4 at GCSE level including a grade 4 or above in GCSE Drama and grade 4 or above in English Language or Literature.
The course offers many opportunities to perform and/or design. The assessed practical work will take place in the first and fourth half terms of Year 13 and consist of one scripted piece, one devised, and one, a mixture of both. In Year 12 texts will be taught through practical workshops and written analysis. The written exam will be based on three contrasting texts where students will discuss ideas on performance, staging, and design.
