Drama Scholarships and Exhibitions

Director of Drama: Mrs Dee Fallon can be contacted on fallond@downehouse.net

All Drama Scholarships and Exhibitions are an honour, carrying a nominal remission in fees of £1000 per annum and £600 for Exhibitioners. They are valid for three years providing she maintains a suitable standard of endeavour and conduct and fulfils the duties required of a Drama Award Holder.

Candidates who are successful in gaining an award but require greater remission in fees in order to be able to take up their place may apply for a Drama means-tested Bursary, as appropriate. Forms are available from the Registrar or Bursar and should be returned to the Bursar.

• Be a model Drama student in lessons, during theatre trips and when participating in Drama related events such as workshops and study days
• Be involved in extra-curricular Drama productions and events as appropriate

• Exhibit a genuine interest in drama and theatre outside of Downe House by attending the theatre, and/or participating in drama courses and/or workshops, and/or auditioning for the National Youth Theatre or other appropriate extension programmes

In addition, Drama Award Holders would be required to take Drama and Theatre Studies at GCSE level and AS/A2 level as well as make a significant contribution to the extra-curricular Drama programme in the Sixth Form in order to retain their Award.
