Drama & Dance

Drama

Drama engages students in their own learning and the world around them through a dynamic learning medium. The specialist teachers ensures that students enjoy the active process of responding, making and evaluating drama.

Students who study Drama have the opportunity to explore the following:

•  A wide range of scripted work
•  Improvisation and devising around themes and issues
•  Practical exploration of drama forms, mediums and techniques for performance
• Technical and design theatrical aspects

At Key Stage 3, all students take one hour of drama each week.

At Key stage 4 students can opt to follow BTEC Performing Arts (Acting).

Dance

Dance is housed in the dance studio (CA2) within the Arts faculty. The Dance studio is a fantastic facility with a fully sprung floor, mirrors, lighting and barres.
