Drama - KS3
In Drama our aim is develop the creativity, confidence and communication skills of the students.
We want to equip students with an appreciation of Drama as an art form by developing their knowledge of key methods and techniques across a range of theatrical styles and genres. Our curriculum has been designed as a tool for students to express and read emotions and become more emotionally intelligent. We also aim to develop a set of key transferable skills which can be carried forward to the world of work in later life. Our thriving co-curricular programme aims to offer every student across the school the opportunity to see live theatre and participate in a theatrical production.
At Key Stage 3 we teach the students the fundamental building blocks to creative, perform and evaluate practical work. We explore a wide range of topics looking at a broad range of styles such as Historical Drama, Storytelling, Scripted Drama, Naturalism and Abstract Theatre. Our aim is for students to become experts in using key skills and techniques, performing convincing roles, and showing awareness of genre and style. Students will learn how to self-reflect, collaborate and build their confidence; integral skills to carry forward in life. Our curriculum is supplemented by giving all students the opportunity to access live theatre and take part in school productions.
