What the college says

A Level Drama is an exciting subject to study at Borlase. Many students who study A Level Drama with us progress onto careers in the Arts and other related subjects. In recent years, some of our students have gained places at top UK drama schools on both the design and acting courses, including LIPA (The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts) & Guildford School of Acting. Several of our past and current students are members of The National Youth Theatre. Our approach is collaborative and many of our senior students mentor our younger students through the popular KS3 drama clubs and GCSE practical work, as well as participating in extracurricular productions themselves. This course is for anyone moving on from GCSE with a keen interest in acting, directing and performing. It would suit you if you enjoy watching live drama and have a passion to create theatre yourself. You may be choosing this course because you're interested in working in the theatre or aiming to study drama or performing arts at university, though it will provide you with a range of transferable skills including creativity, communication and teamwork that can be used in a variety of careers. This course compliments other arts and humanities subjects such as English language, English literature and history.
