Enrichment Pupils will enjoy opportunities to see productions and are strongly encouraged to experience as much live theatre as possible to broaden their horizons.
Future Pathways The skills you learn in Drama are life skills needed in everyday encounters. A recent report discussed that these skills, developed within Drama, are desired within any employment or career, such as, using initiative and being self-motivated, organisation, working under pressure and to deadlines, ability to learn and adapt, communication and interpersonal skills, teamwork, negotiation, valuing diversity and differences, problem solving, numeracy and IT. The report can be downloaded here: https://www.stem.org.uk/system/files/elibraryresources/2017/09/A4%20employability%20fold%20out_Interactive_v4.pdf The GCSE course naturally feeds into the A Level Drama and Theatre course which, combined with English, Music or Art and Design, provide a strong foundation for a wealth of degree courses and careers. The following are just a few: Theatre Studies, Directing, Drama and English Literature, Education, Teaching, Media Studies, Law, Film Studies, Performing Arts, Costume Design, Lighting Design. Due to the nature of the subject, it can also be paired with contrasting subjects to provide a broad platform with creativity and teamwork at its heart.
