Dance & Drama Professional Training

The arts make us feel connected to one another and less isolated. Through the arts we share an emotion and that sharing connects us with each other and we realize we all feel the same emotions. The arts are our last hope. We find our identity and make it easier and more pleasurable to live and they also give us wisdom.

The performing art will play a key role in the development process of our student’s, affecting their creativity confidence and capability to express them and impress the world outside through their abilities and talents.

The lessons learnt and practiced are complimented by a wide range of extracurricular trips, clubs and performances such as school musical plays, dance shows, musical workshops both in and out of school.

Our community outreach programme will ensure that performing arts experiences travel beyond our school gates and enrich our community too. We will work in partnership with schools and Centre on national level, to bring the arts to children and adults with special educational needs, as well as working with a variety of local primary schools and other institutions, which vary to meet the demands of our programme.
Students will take part in our exciting annual programme of arts activities, which include clubs, trips, shows, master-classes and personal tutoring; many of these opportunities allow students to achieve professional qualifications.
