At EBS, careers education is a central part of school life. We provide independent, impartial guidance to help students of all ages explore their strengths and passions, and to plan for their future.
From Years 7 – 9 the focus is on career exploration, and students do this through our online platform Unifrog, which helps to identify skills and career interests. We also work with employers, training providers and local colleges to offer real-world experiences. All students complete work experience from Year 10 and meet with our independent Careers Advisor.
At EBS, we see Drama as both an art form in its own right, and as a learning medium which has application across the whole curriculum.
At Key Stage 3 (KS3), we work with the students to build up their self-confidence, self-esteem and ambition. We believe that developing understanding, and empathy for other people’s feelings and situations enables us to form positive relationships and provide an understanding of the world in which we live. The Drama Department aims to provide all students with the emotional intelligence necessary to ensure they become positive contributors to our society.
The department’s diverse and engaging curriculum allows all students to build their confidence and knowledge as well as develop their speaking and listening skills, benefitting students in whatever choices they make. The Drama Department encourages students to explore and take risks as well as developing a sense of responsibility thereby becoming independent learners. We want our students to feel good about their successes, yet they should also know that it is perfectly reasonable not to be a success – yet. The key here is that we give our students the resilience to keep trying. It is our aim that students will leave our leave school with excellent communication skills, the ability to collaborate effectively with others, and the confidence to succeed in life.
