Who might choose this subject?

Pupils need to have a strong, enthusiastic interest in drama, a willingness to participate and engage with other people, and the confidence to experiment and share in a group. Pupils should also have good organisational skills and a commitment to complete all written work.

This course can contribute to a career in many creative industries, as well as supporting greater confidence and self-belief in many other key areas of life.

Additional Information

Learners will draw on and extend their knowledge and apply their practical skills in creating a drama. It will focus on the process and product of learning. The practical activity will be sufficiently open and flexible to allow for personalisation and choice.

These features help make the course adaptable, with the flexibility to meet the needs and aspirations of a diverse range of learners.

Having good written English skills will support the level of attainment in Drama.
