Post 16 Education
We are keen to develop further links in these areas:
- AS/A level Drama and Theatre Studies
- BTEC Performing Arts/Certificate/Diploma
For the related workshop programme see the Secondary page.
It would be very relevant to set up links between staff teaching in Sixth Forms and Further Education Colleges to compare experiences of developing relevant teaching methods and appropriate exam boards.
Performing Arts Colleges. Also an uncharted area is the Specialist Performing Arts College sector. Links between centres could be beneficial.
