Drama and Theatre Studies

Assessment

Drama is in a relatively unique position in this area as assessment takes place over the course. The component 1 performance and creative log is worth 20% of the A level and is internally assessed, filmed and then externally moderated. It takes place at the end of year 12. Component 2 is worth 40% of the A level and is marked by a visiting examiner in the March of year 13. Component 3 is the written exam and is worth 40% of the A level. The theory covered in this component underpins the knowledge required for the other 2 components so we work on this throughout the course and carry out regular assessments in this area.
