Our vision includes the belief that:

  • A broad and balanced curricular and extra-curricular programme will unlock and support the artistic potential of all our students.
  • Outstanding exam results will be achieved with a commitment to every child, not just our talented performers.
  • The performing arts will encourage each individual to work in a creative, co-operative and collaborative manner while promoting personal, learning and thinking skills.
  • Students learn best in a participative and creative environment placed within a firm framework of high standards in teaching and learning.
  • Students need an understanding of, and access to, developing technologies in order to encourage participation and leadership in a technologically developing society.
  • We have a responsibility to our local community through productions and performances.

Our aim as a department is to deliver an energetic, engaging and challenging curriculum through a creative, skills based framework.

The Dance Curriculum has three strands: Performance (technical and interpretative skills), Choreography (the art of making dances) and Appreciation (the ability to describe, interpret and evaluate dances).
