“The Drama curriculum inspires, challenges and empowers students.\u00a0Our aim is to nurture creative and expressive ways of devising, rehearsing and performing. Opportunities for support are available during lessons and in various formal and informal extra-curricular sessions especially in key stage 4. Students showcase their work in performances in the safe and supportive environment of the drama studio. We believe in opportunities outside of the school community enrich the learning we do inside it and so trips and visits to theatre and digital streaming of theatre have an important role in our vision.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We believe it is essential that all students engage in a wide range of experiences which stimulate creative, imaginative and expressive responses. Embedding the basic foundational knowledge to succeed in performing, variety of dramatic styles, watching and reviewing the work of diverse practitioners will lead to more sustained independent inquiry led by the student and supported by the teacher. We hope to create confident, creative individuals with a range of transferrable knowledge that will help them thrive in society and the world of work of the future.”\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Devised pieces of drama form the backbone of our work here at the Lakes. The ability to respond to an initial idea (or stimulus) and create an original piece of Drama is one of the hardest and yet most rewarding aspects of the subject. Year 7s learn how to structure these pieces using primary Dramatic techniques (Freeze, Mime, Aside) and basic acting skills (Vocal and Physical). Year 8s learn how to communicate meaning within the pieces they develop, focuses include style and theme. When students choose to take Drama in Year 9 they have the opportunity to expand in greater depth both their practical knowledge and ability develop original pieces of Drama.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Throughout their time in Drama lessons we also provide students with the knowledge of how to understand and appreciate the work of professional theatre looking at scripted performances. Year 7 benefit from \u2018Peter Pan goes wrong\u2019 by Mischief theatre. Year 8 \u2018A midsummer nights dream\u2019 By Shakespeare which we look at productions from the RSC and Globe theatres. Year 9 Saw a live performance of \u2018Woman in Black\u2019 this year.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

KS4 Benefits from an extremely rich BTEC Tech level from Pearson. We study 3 plays a Contemporary, a Classical and a Musical; students then develop their own scripted performances from these and final complete the course by finishing where we started by creating an original piece of drama.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
