Curriculum Intent

The Drama Department at Kesteven & Sleaford High School aims to provide a breadth of experience in a wide range of theatrical styles and dramatic techniques. Key knowledge builds within a spiral curriculum.

The KS3 Drama curriculum reflects the content covered in KS4 and KS5: exploration of scripted work, devising opportunities and a theoretical underpinning. Performance skills such as Physical, Vocal & Characterisation as well as academic proficiencies such as analysis, evaluation and critical thinking are revisited, reemphasised and redeveloped each year. This is alongside interpersonal competencies that nurture self-confidence, resilience and perseverance. Through Drama we encourage students to develop the soft skills that future employers seek - confidence, communication, co-operation, commitment, and creativity.
