Drama at Moulton is a thriving subject offering courses in GCSE Drama, and AS/A2 Drama and Theatre Studies, with a healthy uptake on all courses. Classes are taught by three specialist drama teachers. The department is very well accommodated with a purpose built Drama studio and rehearsal room and a third open hall space. The studio is fully equipped with a DMX multi-channel lighting system, a PA sound system and a multi-media projector.

THE DRAMA CURRICULUM

In Years 7 and 8 students are taught Drama in a weekly one hour lesson. The syllabus is aimed at developing skills in group work, communication, devising, performing and evaluating, as well as using Drama to explore social issues, plays and learn about theatre history.

At Key Stage 4 students follow the OCR GCSE Drama syllabus. The course enables students to use Drama to explore a range of social issues, themes, stimulus material and play texts and also prepares students to present theatrical performances and develop their performance skills in both scripted and devised work.

In the sixth form students follow the Edexcel Drama and Theatre Studies syllabus.
