Year 9 Drama and English collaboration
Our Year 9 Drama pupils have been working on performances around “An Inspector Calls”, a key text in the English Literature GCSE Examinations. This week, they’ve been using a ‘diamond 9’ exercise to explore the question: Who is most responsible for Eva Smith’s death? This cross-curricular learning approach helps pupils to examine the themes of social responsibility, character motivations, and key scenes from this text.

Ms D Maymand, Subject Leader for Drama and Performing Arts, said: “The strong links between Drama and English have allowed us to create a series of lessons that not only engages pupils but also prepare them for their English GCSE studies. Through drama, pupils can explore key scenes in a more interactive way, which helps develop their analytical skills.”
These lessons are further supported by e-learning videos, providing an additional resource to deepen our pupils’ understanding of the text.
