Key stage 4: GCSE Drama

Drama at GCSE is essentially practical, but there is written coursework based on practical activities, which is worth 20% of the total marks for the examination.

Much of the work is about developing practical skills and working with others to produce involving drama. Year 10 is spent developing acting skills and skills of evaluation in preparation for Year 11, when the unit examinations take place.
