What the college says

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.
