Welcome to Drama
Welcome to the Drama Department. The ethos of the department is centered around learning Drama in a practical way where students support and encourage each other to achieve their best. The Curriculum is designed to build students' self-confidence to become confident communicators.
In Key Stage 3 (years 7,8 and 9) the focus is developing key drama skills, both individually and as part of a group. The drama curriculum provides the opportunity for students to explore key social and moral issues and develop their own imagination and creativity. We aim to deliver a broad experience of Drama to develop skills in three key areas:
- Devising Drama
- Performing Drama from a text
- Reflecting
