The Drama curriculum is rich in skills and knowledge, which immerses pupils in a range of styles. The curriculum encourages pupils to become confident and independent thinkers, who will be able to create original work and critically analyse professional and non-professional repertoire. Pupils will have an appreciation of their own work and that of others, always demonstrating respect and empathy.
