Drama and Theatre Studies A Level

Studying Drama and Theatre Studies at A level allows pupils to develop themselves into competent theatrical artists and practitioners with an appreciation of theatre as a masterful art form that is integral to society and civilisation. Not only are pupils' artistic, creative and technical skills developed, but they also gain key life skills such as confidence in presenting, the ability to communicate clearly and effectively, and proficiency in problem solving and teamwork.

Drama allows pupils to become empathetic, emotionally intelligent and culturally accomplished, with an awareness of the world around them. They learn to understand and appreciate different cultural and societal contexts, which helps them become global citizens.  

The syllabus aims to encourage candidates to:

  • Develop their interest and enjoyment in Drama and Theatre both as participants, and as informed members of the audience
  • Develop an understanding and appreciation of the significance of social, cultural and historical influences on the development of Drama and Theatre throughout history
  • Experience a range of opportunities to develop a variety of practical skills, through workshops and live theatre visits whilst
  • Integrate theory and practice through their understanding of critical concepts and the use of specialist terminology
