How will I learn?
The majority of activities in Drama involve creating and presenting and are practical and experiential.
There will be opportunities to perform or present to an audience.
There will be opportunities to work in partnership with professional performers or artists and other creative adults.
How will I be assessed?
In drama we assess three main areas of learning; creating, presenting and evaluating. Teachers will gather evidence of progress in these areas as part of each pupil’s day-to-day learning. Evidence of progress will also be demonstrated through pupils’ abilities and skills in communicating in different ways, solving problems creatively, and justifying their opinions of their own and others’ work.
