Drama plays a major part in the life of the school, with an annual school musical, House Drama competition and many curriculum based performance evenings. The successful candidate will need to be an excellent teacher, with a desire and ability to teach both GCSE Drama and A-Level Theatre Studies and willing to contribute to the extensive extra-curricular programme. The department of 2 are well supported by a technician and also by staff in other departments with music, choreography and set design.
