A Level Drama
Overview
The Drama department is pleased to be working alongside WJEC and the new specification. The course is challenging, diverse and creative. There is an excellent balance between scripted and devised performance, when the pupils experience theatre and develop their skills through studying a wide range of key Contemporary theatre practitioners. Pupils also study two set texts in Year 12 and two set texts in Year 13 and review live theatre production
