Drama is studied within English lessons in Year 4 and above and pupils study topics such as film narrative and dramatic techniques employed in text. In Years 7 and 8, the examination curricula include the study of selected Shakespeare plays, most recently A Midsummer Night's Dream along with novels that are commonly dramatised, such as Lord of Flies by William Golding.
Drama is also taught by a visiting Drama teacher and pupils take external New Era Academy Speech and Drama examinations.
