You will develop in all areas: • performers • designer (lighting, sound, set, costume, puppets) • director Gaining many invaluable skills, both theatrical and transferable, to expand your horizons. You will attend workshops with theatre practitioners, and several live-theatre opportunities will be available to you across the two years. You will interpret plays and perform them for yourselves, you will devise and perform your own work with others, and you will interrogate live performance and texts and write about them in the written exam element. The assessment, and structure mirrors the GCSE in Drama and build logically and creatively on from it. As you progress through the A Level course and learn more advanced skills, you will be encouraged to find ways of developing your own personal style and interests. The majority of students studying Drama and Theatre achieve A-C grades, enabling them to go into Higher Education, or work and apprenticeships, ahead of their peers. Why study this course? Higher education institutions (HEIs) value and respect the skills drama and theatre qualifications give students. Many employers want Drama and Theatre students, recognising the confidence, collaborative, leadership and other transferable skills they possess following their studies.

They learn to evaluate objectively and develop a sound appreciation of the influences that cultural and social contexts can have on decision making. Whatever the future holds, students of A Level Drama and Theatre – you – will emerge with a toolkit of transferable skills preparing you for your next steps.
