GCSE and A level Drama Examinations for Years 11, 12 and 13

GCSE Drama is a dynamic and creative subject, offering students the opportunity to explore the world of theatre making, acting, and performance. Combining practical skills and theoretical knowledge, the curriculum enables students to develop as directors, performers and critical thinkers.

Since 4 March, through to this Wednesday 26 March, Year 11, 12 and 13 Drama students have been busy with their practical and scripted exams in School.

Year 12 Devised Practical Examination

Our Year 12 students took their Devised Practical exam, a component during which students are assessed on their ability to create and develop ideas, communicating meaning for theatrical performance, applying theatrical skills to realise artistic intentions in live performance.

Year 11 Scripted Examination

A practical component of the exam for our Year 11 students, they were assessed on their ability to create and develop ideas in order to communicate meaning for theatrical performance. They also had to apply theatrical skills to realis artistic intentions in live performance.

Year 13 Scripted Examination

As above for Year 11, Year 13 students also took their scripted examination.

Commenting on their hard work, dedication and focus during these exams, our Head of Drama, Miss Mayes shared,

“It’s been absolutely wonderful to watch these young creatives commitment to these exams, and their enjoyment – which is such an important part of the GCSE and A level course. Their passion has been evident, as ever, and I’ve been extremely proud to not only have had the chance to guide them, but to watch their live performances which were all incredible, I felt very proud – as they should do of themselves.”
