Drama Curriculum Vision
Drama at All Saints is a lively department where the nurturing of students’ talents and abilities in Performing Arts is at its heart.
Teaching is interactive and energetic and all students are encouraged to move out of their comfort zone to take risks in their work and try out different things in a safe and trusting environment.
Confidence building and team work is at the heart of the work. As a result; many students are incredibly successful and have moved on to train further at prestigious Drama schools up and down the country.
