The Speech and Drama syllabus specifications are designed for candidates who want to develop their presentation and performance skills by engaging with a variety of written forms including poetry, prose and play extracts in a range of styles from different periods.
We do not prescribe exam content — candidates are free to choose literary and dramatic pieces in which they have a particular interest or that complement their existing studies.
- Explore presentation, communication and public speaking skills, including contemporary 21st century spoken word practices
- Integrate study from wider subjects such as English language, literature and history
- Choose performance material to reflect their own culture, interests and identity
- Demonstrate knowledge and skills through practical performance and ability to reflect learning
