Curriculum drama begins in year 8 with a weekly lesson of practical and written activities and exercises, including improvisations, role-play and scriptwriting, all of which lead to an assessed presentation or performance. Skills encouraged and developed include confidence-building, leadership, creative expression, team work and communication in its various forms. Thereafter we offer GCSE Drama in years 10 and 11 with a syllabus equally balanced between practical and written work, both internally and externally assessed.

In years 12 and 13 we currently offer A-level Drama and Theatre Studies jointly with KEHS. This includes elements on the work of practitioners, theatre history, monologues, duologues, devised and scripted performances. This is always supported by scripted assignments.
