In Drama, students creatively explore and question what we are all fascinated and driven by: human behaviour. Drama is about communication and creation. It is about giving our young men a voice and providing them with the skills and the confidence to explore themselves and the world around them.

A high-quality Drama education ensures all students: 

• Are provided with a safe, supportive environment in which they can develop their personal, social and emotional skills.
• Develop their communication skills through a range of drama techniques and elements.
• Can practically explore issues and life experiences by developing their empathy.
• Use Drama as a vehicle to understand and process the world around them.
• Have their imagination stimulated, and their creative thinking encouraged and embraced.
• Are given the opportunity to partake in performance.

Key concepts of Drama are:

• Confidence building – promoting self-esteem and raising self-awareness. Speaking and listening skills are embedded throughout each lesson.
• Exploration and Response – the process of responding to a range of stimulus material, both as an individual and in groups.
• Making, Application and Creating - using a range of drama techniques and performance skills to effectively explore and develop response ideas.
• Performing – showcasing exploratory work, deepening understanding of character, situation and culture.
• Evaluation - reflecting upon performance process and using success criteria to continue personal development.
