Job overview
Drama is taught as a compulsory subject until the end of Year 9 where it becomes a GCSE option subject. Students learn about theatre as a product and Drama as a process. We are proud to specialise in the teaching of technical theatre and design and have had great success at GCSE level with technical theatre results, we have technical students that have achieved places at the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain. We have strong connections with local theatres and festivals and ensure that our students benefit from these connections with opportunities like reviewing productions and volunteering for the Tunbridge Wells Puppetry Festival for example.
We run weekly drama clubs, stretch our most able and talented with masterclasses, run inhouse National Theatre on Demand viewings to encourage our students to see live/recorded theatre and we arrange trips to local and regional theatres. We look at our Drama curriculum and work with other subjects to support cross curricular teaching, our academy productions are varied and this year we are looking to offer a sixth form production for younger students to enjoy watching and benefitting from.
