The learning experience of working with others in groups is integral to the process of Drama. Opportunities should be created for pupils to participate in a variety of situations to explore their own attitudes and feelings as well as others in a secure working environment. Drama at Braeview Academy is an enriching and satisfying experience that encourages communicative ability, self confidence, versatility, and the ability to cope with unforeseen and difficult situations. All these are recognised as essential to young people facing accelerated change in an increasingly complex world. All pupils in first and second year have drama included in the standard timetable.
Pupils can then opt to study drama for a further two years at Standard Grade level.
Higher Drama has not run in the school for a few years.
