Overview

If you are already teaching Drama you can compare current and revised specifications on the What are the changes? page.

Our modern, fun and engaging specifications offer the flexibility to adapt our Drama course to both you and your learners' strengths and interests whilst emphasising learning through doing. All these enjoyable practical-based qualifications provide progression to higher education.

Further benefits to you and your learners

  • An inspired and lively specification developed following a highly successful pilot. It incorporates a new and unique, motivational, innovative assessment: the Innovation Challenge providing your learners with the opportunity to show flair, imagination and creativity, in a range of activities which will motivate them and make it more enjoyable for you to teach.
  • Manageable and engaging assessment tasks to deliver and take, therefore motivating learners.
  • The choice of working individually, in pairs or in a group of up to six for all units, providing learners with the opportunity to work as a team.
  • Centres can choose their own text and stimulus material and contextualise the controlled assessment tasks to best suit their specific circumstances.
  • Additional options to work in the roles of designer, deviser and director, as well as performer. So learners become multi-skilled, which gives them the opportunity for progression to further education.
