Performing Arts

Our Curriculum Intent Statement

Every learner is recognised as having a unique musical experience. We celebrate and welcome differences within our community. The ability to learn is underpinned by the teaching of basic musical skills, knowledge, concepts and values. We constantly provide enhancement opportunities to engage learning and believe that music practice and performance should be a happy, investigative and enquiring time in our lives where there are no limits to curiosity and there is a thirst for new experiences and knowledge. Using positive musical experiences to promote positive attitudes, we aim to learn the values and skills needed to promote musical experiences for lifelong music appreciation and participation.

Our Curriculum Intent Statement

Dance is a unique subject that blends artistic practice with physical activity. It encourages learners to develop their creativity and confidence to become successful learners with high aspirations. We recognise the broader development of learners and the importance of learning both in and outside of the classroom. Dance fully enhances the lives of the learners by offering extensive extra-curricular opportunities providing memorable experiences. By using exciting approaches we aim to learn the values and skills needed to promote a well-rounded dance education.

Our Curriculum Intent Statement

Drama aims to develop individuality; to encourage students to think and express themselves with flair and confidence, but also to encourage tolerance and understanding. Drama gives young people the opportunities to reflect on the world around them and develop their social, reflective, and communitive skills as well as gain a practical understanding of how to engage an audience. Students are given opportunities through practical role-play to appreciate situations from more than one perspective. Through drama, we encourage students to question, challenge and ultimately change their perception of the world in which they live.
