What are the aims of the course?
A Level drama and theatre invites students to immerse themselves in play texts while developing practical skills as an actor, designer, or director. A commitment to live theatre is at the heart of the course, enriching studies and sparking what may become a lifelong passion for theatre-going. Blending creative practice with theoretical exploration, this challenging yet deeply rewarding subject offers an unforgettable two-year journey into the world of performance.
Are there any specific entry requirements?
A Grade 7 or better in English GCSEs is a good foundation for A Level drama and theatre: students will have studied drama texts from a literary perspective and have developed essay writing skills. Opportunities for theatre and costume design in the practical component of the course could be a real plus for students who have done well in art at GCSE.
