Why do we learn drama?

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. 

Aims of Our Drama Curriculum:  

The Ark Victoria Academy Drama curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils:  

  • develop creativity through understanding the benefits of participation in the arts, performance and creativity during their school journey; 

  • develop co-operation & collaboration; 

  • develop confidence in communication through developing vocal and physical skills; 

  • explore social issues though drama to develop tolerance and understanding; 

  • be exposed to different peoples’ perspectives and emotions on issues and events; 

  • be exposed to and use subject specific vocabulary effectively; 

  • study the history and influence of different practitioners on drama;
