Head of Drama
-
Sep 2002 - Aug 2012
I took on this role in 2002 when there was one part time teacher helping with A level teaching. I was solely responsible for teaching all other classes and taking all extra curricular Drama activities provided. By 2012, the Department had grown to two full time teachers, a Drama Assistant and a full time Theatre manager to cope with the popularity of the subject. AQA used practical and written A level and GCSE work as exemplar material. A minimum of two full scale productions were performed annually allowing any students to be involved regardless of whether they studied the subject. The local and national reputation for Drama at and the Performing Arts at Kingswood was excellent.
