Drama is a beneficial subject for anyone looking to explore new avenues and create new characters. Within drama, students learn the importance of team work and how to express their emotions and share ideas. Drama is a great way to teach writing and reading skills as we will be focusing on script work throughout KS3 and KS4. The lessons are full of fun and laughter, whilst educating students on key language and writing based on the English Literature Curriculum.
