Welcome from the Drama Captains of 2020/2021
I am excited for the next year of drama and to support the younger students with the drama club, as when I was in year 7, I joined with a couple of friends and it was one of the reasons I knew I wanted to do Drama GCSE! I hope I can inspire the students like the Drama Captains did for me!

Drama has always been my favourite subject at school and I wanted the position of drama captain to help improve younger students’ confidence and show them how much fun performing can be. I want to help inspire other pupils and encourage them to join productions, increase their self esteem and acquire skills for life.

Key Stage 3
Being distinct from the use of drama in other subject areas, the emphasis of the course is on creative and theatrical skills, although its general aims are to build confidence, to extend communication skills, to stimulate the imagination and to develop an awareness of the needs of others, as well as oneself. The course provides opportunities for students to be inventive, to express what is felt and imagined, to develop the skills of planning, organisation and decision making, to work meaningfully with others and to face issues and solve problems. This is achieved through a wide variety of improvisation, role-play, scripting and group discussion and planning, all leading to performance.
