Striving for excellence in A level Drama

The Drama department at the City Of London Freemen’s school  partnered up with Carshalton Boys Sports College (CBSC) during 2016/17 to help standardise the coursework components at GCSE.  This partnership was a great success and will widen to A Level support in the next academic years.
