Drama after Millfield
Highly valued skills
It is a common misconception that an A Level in Drama will not be useful in applications to top universities. University admissions tutors are aware of how demanding the Drama course is and that those who get A grades in the subject are likely to be extremely efficient, adept at working with others and also capable of coping well under pressure.
Millfield Drama Department - producing top students
The Millfield Drama department is committed to producing students who are well trained in using their voice and physicality to communicate successfully. It is also a great concern that students learn to write clearly, intellectually and analytically; a life skill that will help all students in whatever they do in the future.
Getting pupils into top Drama Schools nationally and internationally
The Department has an excellent track record of getting Sixth Formers into top accredited UK and US Drama Schools such as the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and the Central School of Speech & Drama. We coach students thoroughly for auditions and provide references.
In recent years the department has also been very successful in getting students into the National Youth Theatre of Great Britain, which is an excellent stepping stone for any young person interested in Drama and a profession in the performance arts. The NYT is a hotbed of young creative talent and many of the best known names in the entertainment industry started out in the company, including Sir Ben Kingsley, Dame Helen Mirren, Timothy Spall, Daniel Day-Lewis, David Walliams and Matt Lucas.
