Drama and Dance

In years 7-9 students develop the necessary skills to enable them to perform and respond to drama. They are introduced to improvisation, text-work, Shakespeare, naturalistic and non-naturalistic drama.  Students will learn to direct others, to create their own scripts and look at the physical and technical aspects of theatre.

At GCSE we offer Drama and Dance

At AS and A Level we offer courses in Drama &Theatre Studies and Dance.
