EXAMINATIONS
In addition to weekly term-time classes and performance opportunities, we pride ourselves in being able to offer students the opportunity to be entered for dance and singing examinations under the Anglo Russe I.S.D.A and drama examinations with LAMDA. It's a fantastic opportunity to encourage students to really focus on material, learn and study within a group and individual setting.
Dance and Singing examinations are entered under the Anglo Russe I.S.D.A where students utilise class time to prepare and then perform to an examiner individually, are graded and then receive a certificate and medal if they pass. This is then usually presented at our Award Presentation where you are invited to watch the students perform their pieces and then be presented with their medals onstage.
Drama examinations are entered with LAMDA where students utilse class time to learn, study and prepare pieces to perform to an examiner. From Grade 6 onwards, LAMDA examinations are the equivalent to GCSE and A Levels providing additional valuable UCAS points to help support further education.
