Key Stage 3
Drama
Drama is the perfect subject for encouraging creativity, personal growth, self-confidence, communication and analytical skills. It promotes pupils’ involvement in, and enjoyment of, drama as performers, devisers, directors and designers, and all pupils will have opportunities to attend theatre performances including pantomimes, Shakespeare, and more.
Pupils can opt to study GCSE Drama in KS4, where they will learn more about the subject and its contribution to social and cultural commentary. They will come to appreciate that drama provides significant opportunities for expressing cultural and personal identity.
