Over two years you will have the opportunity to study and research a range of published plays, learning how to approach these from both a director’s and performer’s perspective. You will learn about acting skills and apply these in scripted and devised work, creating group performances in preparation for a practical performance exam. Regular visits to the theatre will be expected to draw inspiration for both your practical and written work.

If you have a GCSE point score between 4.75 and 5 you can access certain A Level subjects. We are confident that we have a range of A Level courses that will get you to university. We will discuss entry requirements with you at interview so please come and talk to us! Your average GCSE score will include the Grades for all your GCSE subjects, added together, then divided by the number of subjects you’ve taken. GCSE Grade 4 or above in Drama or equivalent performance-based qualification and GCSE grade 5 in English Language.
