Drama
Drama at Key stage 3 is delivered through the English curriculum, in which students have the opportunity to explore themes and ideas in literature through role play and character analysis. There are also after school drama clubs for those that wish to perform in front of peers, parents and members of the public. These clubs then tend to feed in to the regular end-of-term events, in collaboration with other performing arts subjects.
