Students enjoy all aspects of the Drama curriculum here, accessing the subject area from KS3 to KS5. GCSE and A Level numbers continue to increase with many students demonstrating a clear love for the art form. Our KS3 curriculum is thematically sequenced and core skills are developed throughout each unit. KS4 and KS5 students are able to be assessed either as a performer or designer due to the range of technical equipment we now hold within the Academy. From September 2026 we will be offering a new course within the faculty to continue the expansion and will now be able to offer both A Level Drama and L3 Musical Theatre. Students are assessed through performance, design work, and written evaluations throughout all key stages and gain exposure to many aspects of theatre. The curriculum instils a passion and understanding of theatre and performance and offers a range of experiences for our students, including multiple trips each academic year to professional plays and musicals. We also have an extensive range of extra-curricular activities and opportunities that students can partake in, including the whole-school musical and KS3 Drama club.
Recently, the Academy invested into our Drama facilities and have provided us with a new Drama Studio for the team and students to enjoy. The Studio includes lighting and sound fittings, and our Trust Technician supports with the programming of this. We also teach in the large Theatre facility and have a Dance Studio that is used regularly as a practical space.
The Drama department itself is vibrant and full of creativity, enthusiasm, and drive. The Creative Arts are recognised, valued, and promoted at Corby Business Academy and we welcome applications from teachers that share our passion for the Arts.
