Hi, if you’re hoping to go to drama school you don’t need an a-level in drama :smile:

It may be different for A-Levels, but for getting a degree in acting from Drama Schools e.g. RADA, Guildhall, Birmingham Conservatoire, Royal College of Welsh And Drama, Rose Bruford etc they don’t require that :smile:

You don't need an A level in Drama to study at Drama school but I'm here to add you also DO NOT need a GCSE in drama to do Drama A level. A girl in my class did not do the GCSE and she is doing the A level - it's also not too difficult to start as you haven't really missed anything from GCSE and she is at the same level as the rest of the class. So if you want to restart year 12 to study drama, then you will able to.
