Drama at SRWA
The Drama curriculum at Sir Robert Woodard Academy is rooted in the development of the Social, Moral, Spiritual and Cultural aspects of the Academy's DNA.
It has been designed to develop key transferable skills (confidence, empathy, communication, tolerance of diversity, compromise and compassion for others ) which help students to form opinions and an understanding of their feelings, social situations and the world they live in. We believe that by developing good control of vocal and physical skills students can be inspired and explore the wonderful world of character and story, whilst at the same time building important life skills. We also aim to open the eyes of our students to the world of Production Arts and all its visual wonders. Our main principle is to provide students with opportunities to become creative, well rounded, tolerant, unbiased individuals with a passion and appreciation for theatre both as performer and/or audience, and compassion for all.
Developing Our Learners
We are aiming to teach students how to effectively use voice and physicality to convey and understand feelings and demonstrate different characters. For them to be able to interpret script and have an understanding of context and subtext. Through this we also aim to develop these transferable skills such as Reading, writing, analysis, empathy, compassion for others, listening, belonging and working successfully and effectively as part of a team.
Structure And Sequence
Our curriculum is structured to allow students to develop a wide range of key skills both transferable and dramatic. These skills are then revisited, deepened and consequently embedded by application to different scripts, stories and improvised work throughout the Key stages. This development forms the foundations for students to be able to progress to GCSE Drama.
Destinations And The World Of Work
Our curriculum gives students the best chance of developing the social skills, confidence and a developed sense of self all of which are essential for all fields of work. We develop presentation skills in the spoken word, performance, design and written.
By studying a wide range of genres, characters, stories and situations students are exposed to many potential pathways. Through extra curricular productions, trip and participation in National Theatre Connections projects students are inspired and encouraged to achieve excellence and dare to dream.
