The performing arts faculty promotes and nurtures creative, confident and reflective performers. Our broad performing arts curriculum inspires, informs, stimulates and challenges students, enjoying and exploring past and present art forms generated from an array of different cultures. A range of topics allows students to develop an understanding and appreciation of the performing arts formed in a contemporary society and throughout the world. These themes are explored through a range of different creative styles and practitioners.
Furthermore, the Performing Arts curriculum promotes a sense of self-worth, encourages confidence, resilience and develops relationships. A wide range of soft skills are embedded throughout the curriculum to transfer into the local and global community. This is recognised as all students to have the opportunity to gain an Arts Awards qualification from Trinity College London during key stage three.
At Key Stage Three our students are given the opportunity to secure a broad and solid foundation of performing arts knowledge through creative practical exploration and implement the skills that are important for lifelong lessons through a range of performing arts specialism.
At Key Stages Four students develop a deeper understanding of the performing arts; it’s culture, background and influences. The curriculum also provides students with an accurate knowledge of how the performing arts industry operates in today’s society and empowers them to become creative and reflective practitioners. This provides students with the skills needed to flourish in post 16 education including apprenticeships where our soft skills development is relevant to our local community.
Additionally, the performing arts curriculum throughout the key stages places an emphasis on written expression and literacy, supporting students to write analytically, crafting critical responses and accurately employing subject related terminology in self reflections.
We value the support for all parents and carers to their child’s performing arts education and regularly celebrate achievements and provide opportunities to local theatres utilising our locality to London and Brighton.
Developing student’s appreciation of the performing arts both inside and outside of the classroom develops discipline, control and focus allowing students to grow into well rounded adults. Students are introduced to a range of opportunities to develop their expertise through extra-curricular activities including the school musical, Band Camp, Dance and Drama clubs and events within the local community allowing them to develop their professionalism within the performing arts sector.
