# Drama

## Drama

Here at Carnforth High School Drama Department, our focus is to inspire students with the confidence and creativity to understand the world, both on and off the stage, in a variety of new and engaging ways. It is a common misconception that Drama is just for those who want to be ‘actors’. In fact, it is a subject concerned with the development of transferable skills that are relevant to all, in terms of personal and social awareness and future employability, whatever the ultimate career choice. However, in our lessons, we also work hard to develop the performance skills of our students (rather than following an issues-based curriculum) so those who wish to study the subject at GCSE and A Level are well prepared.
