Drama activities will be the priority of a Drama Scholar, in terms of a co-curricular programme, but this will not exclude them from participating in other endeavours. Drama Scholars will be expected to study GCSE Drama.
The piece can be from any published play (rather than a film or television show) and should demonstrate an ability to create a convincing character.
Scholars in Years 9 to 13 benefit from being at the forefront of the cultural life of the school. They can be involved as performers, designers, technicians, production or front of house for all the major Drama Department productions throughout the year.
They will also participate in the Autumn Term Scholars Showcase, a performance exclusively for those on the Scholars Programme. They have access to workshops, trips and live theatrical events, broadening their dramatic experience, and termly challenges encourage students to expand their knowledge base through exploration and research.
Drama Scholars have access to several rehearsal spaces across the schools. There are five performance venues, two of which are fully equipped black box drama studios, along with two halls, both with raked seating and sound and lighting systems. Each year we stage multiple productions, in January, March, May and June, offering opportunities for students across the age range.
Our Sixth Form Drama Scholars receive specialist guidance and/or technical instruction from the Drama Department, with opportunities to gain further experience in areas which support entry into Higher Education courses. 1-2-1 support will be offered to those applying to further their performance or production education at drama school or university.
