Intent
For pupils to gain knowledge and skills associated with drama and theatre. Pupils will develop their interpersonal skills, empathy and confidence in a supportive environment where they can explore a range of topics.
Implementation

They will also be given the opportunity to approach a task from different perspectives, such as, writer, director and performer.
At KS4 the Eduqas course is followed, and pupils are expected to apply knowledge and understanding when making exploring and responding to drama.
