Drama enhances our lives and those of others through performance, creativity, and the medium of artistic expression. Our ambition is to engage and inspire students to develop a love of drama and their talent as actors, and so increase their self-esteem, creativity and sense of achievement.

As we identify the key knowledge students should master in drama, we think carefully about how we want students to think as dramatists.  We want students to:

• learn to express and to use their voices, to create and devise their own work on their own and with others, have the opportunity to engage in extracurricular opportunities and to progress to the next level of dramatic excellence
• understand and explore how drama is created and communicated, including through the interrelated dimensions: pitch, pace, dynamics, tempo, body language, facial expression, structure and appropriate written formats
