Arts – Performing Arts (drama & Music)

Drama aims to develop creativity, academic knowledge and confidence in all students. Drama gives students the opportunity to explore different forms of theatre and in the process develop a positive relationship to criticism in order to further them as reflective learners. 

Drama supports students in their ability to communicate deeper meanings through their work, and reflect on their own practice. Through the exploration of challenging and mature concepts and themes.
