Drama

What is our Departmental Intent?:

We believe our students deserve an ambitious and broad Drama curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge, which inspires. We immerse our students in a range of styles which encourages them to become confident and independent thinkers, capable of creating original work as well as engaging with the critical analysis of professional and non-professional repertoire.

Commitment and self-discipline

Evaluation and appreciation
