Causing Drama with Drama!

We asked a Drama teacher and what she thought about not doing Drama in Year 9. She said “I love Drama because it gives children a chance to express themselves. It is a really enjoyable subject and gives pupils a chance to explore texts practically.” and said “We should have Drama in Y9 because pupils need to start thinking about GCSEs and they need to explore a range of subjects so they can choose what to pick for GCSEs. Drama offers a lot of skills in life and jobs like communication skills, confidence and presentation skills.” and lastly said “Drama can explore texts practically and choose what to make it but in English it is always the same”
