Our vision includes the belief that:
- A broad and balanced curricular and extra-curricular programme will unlock and support the artistic potential of all our students.
- Outstanding exam results will be achieved with a commitment to every child, not just our talented performers.
- The performing arts will encourage each individual to work in a creative, co-operative and collaborative manner while promoting personal, learning and thinking skills.
- Students learn best in a participative and creative environment placed within a firm framework of high standards in teaching and learning.
- Students need an understanding of, and access to, developing technologies in order to encourage participation and leadership in a technologically developing society.
- We have a responsibility to our local community through productions and performances.
Our aim as a department is to deliver an engaging and challenging curriculum through a predominantly Physical Skills method.
There are two strands to the Drama Curriculum, Social Drama Skills and Physical Drama Skills.
Social Drama Skills include: Negotiation, Listening, Control, Focus, Concentration and Control
Physical Drama Skills include: Facial Expression, Body Language, Voice Movement and Gesture.
