Year 9 isn’t simply a phase, it’s a vital stage on students’ life journeys. Drama can positively contribute to it.
Year 9 drama is often seen as a huge challenge, bringing KS3 to a close with frequently reluctant, hormonal, rebellious adolescents mixed with those who are keen to embrace it and to study it at GCSE.
Some schools solve the problem by starting KS4 a year early, but for those who have to get through Year 9, drama needs ideas, materials and themes that appeal to 13 – 14 year-olds to harness their abilities, interests and talents. This scheme provides 6 stand-alone sessions, including ideas for the disaffected, semidetached and awkward customers, and shows how an inclusive performance can be created after 10 sessions. Opting out is not an option – everyone owns some part of this project.
