We believe that pupils deserve a broad and ambitious Drama curriculum, rich in skills and knowledge, which immerses pupils in a range of styles. The curriculum will encourage pupils to become confident and independent thinkers, who will be able to create original work and critically analyse professional and non-professional repertoire. Pupils will have an appreciation of their own work and that of others, always demonstrating respect and empathy.

Our Drama curriculum will give pupils the opportunity to:

· develop creativity through understanding the benefits of participation in the arts, performance and creativity during their school journey;

· develop co-operation & collaboration;

· develop confidence in communication through developing vocal and physical skills;

· explore social issues though drama to develop tolerance and understanding;

· be exposed to different peoples’ perspectives and emotions on issues and events;

· be exposed to and use subject specific vocabulary effectively;

· study the history and influence of different practitioners on drama;

· develop an ability to evaluate their own and others’ work.
