What the college says

Students do not need to have taken Drama at GCSE (although it does help) but do need to have an active interest in the theatre, both as performers and as audience. The course includes the study of three contrasting performance texts through analysis and performance - two chosen by the school (Component 1) and one by the exam board (Component 2). Students will also be expected to experience at least one professional production as part of the course, whether by joining one of several school theatre trips or organising a visit to a theatre themselves. Students are also expected to take an active role in the busy life of the school, further enhancing their appreciation of the theatre and gaining responsibility. The Performing Arts Faculty is very active, with an annual whole-school musical production at The Coro , a Primary Schools? Pantomime, written and directed by the VIth Form, workshop performances, lower school drama clubs that students can assist with and also have the opportunity to be paid to help run our Primary Drama Club.
