Drama and Theatre Studies

Course structure

• Before you start

  You may be required to complete an activity before you start in order to help introduce you to the subject. Check back in the summer term for more details.

• Course content

  It is highly recommended that students have previous experience in the subject, ideally at GCSE level, or through alternative recognised qualifications. In addition, participation in school productions and extra-curricular drama groups is desirable.

  The College is a LAMDA approved examination centre and offers students the opportunity to study for LAMDA examinations to complement their work in the subject.

  It should be noted that the course requires considerable wider reading and progress throughout the course is monitored through a series of regular essays. This course also contains a practical element in which students create performance work of their own for external examination. This is scripted in year one and devised in year two.

  You are also encouraged to supplement your programme with the Extended Project.
