What will my child learn during the course of the year?



Our Ethos

To inspire, encourage and teach our students a passion for the arts whilst developing their confidence ready for the wider world.

Our Aims

5 Year Plan

Through the 5 years, students will be taught basic performance skills that allow them to creatively explore a wide range of issues whilst developing their confidence. They will learn the importance of working collaboratively and the power of the imagination. Those who continue into KS4 will learn about practitioners and styles of theatre. They will develop performances for examinations that are confident and creative whilst analytically looking at their work and that of others.
