DARE E TO BE DRAMATIC? ATIC? #WE E ARE DRAMA! A! The GCSE Drama specification allows for much freedom in the curriculum in terms of Group sizes, Topics and Controlled Assessment. Gone are the days when we recorded endless clips of students working in class only to ‘perform’ once for exam purposes. Drama GCSE these days is much more flexible, enjoyable and feels like a real GCSE qualification.
