Further education path?

I want to be a teacher of either drama or classical civilisations (secondary or a levels). Does anyone know how I can get to this? I'm sorry if this doesn't make much sense I'm awful with words!!
Get an A Level in either Classical Civilisation or Drama, then do a degree in it, then do a PGCE in it.

Do note though that Classical Civilisation teachers in schools are nearly always also expected to be able to teach Latin. The PGCE Classics courses are all Latin with Classics too. So do bear in mind that your Latin will need to be up to scratch.

Hi, I’m not sure how much you know already but here is a link to a free advisor. https://getintoteaching.education.gov.uk/teacher-training-adviser/sign_up/identity?gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22434217582&gbraid=0AAAAAD_WOvqXv7o05Fd20cp2Uvi_6MHtR&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BQKahwPw0-x0-Q0aLw1ZGwVh7a7qhQjsJd-EO6EqSYMp5fCO6ILoihoCilcQAvD_BwE
I’ve heard that for some it wasn’t the most helpful but for me personally she was super helpful when it came to sorting out what my options where as I wanted to become a media teacher, (which is a bit niche) as well as help me through my personal statement and interview prep.
