Performing Arts

The school is committed to enable all students to develop a range of skills linked to a variety of disciplines within Performing Arts.  Creativity is an integral part of our students learning journey and they are encouraged to develop theoretical learning through creativity and practice as a means to build and develop knowledge and understanding and increase self esteem and confidence.

All students at KS3 have bespoke lessons in Dance, Drama and Music.  There are numerous opportunities for students to share their learning through exhibitions, competitions, showcases, concerts and via social media to celebrate achievements and reach a wider audience.  At KS4, the Year 9  pathway ensures all students have the opportunity to select from a range of creative and Performing Arts to continue building on the skills, techniques, knowledge of practitioners, performance, devising and analytical analysis of set works.

We also offer a range of further qualifications including RSL Music Practitioners performance pathway, NCFE Applied Certificate in Music Technology, A Level Drama and Theatre Studies, A Level Dance, GCSE Music, GCSE Dance, GCSE Drama, Btec Technical Level ½ in Music and Arts Award Bronze and Silver.  LAMDA and Music Grades are also available through our peripatetic programme.
