Five GCSEs at grade 9–4
Performing Arts – UAL Level 3 Diploma/ Extended Diploma
The Performing Arts course was highlighted by Ofsted as being successful at preparing learners not only for work, but also many aspects of life outside of college. Students are encouraged to work independently and as a company to create a vast array of performances, not only as performers but as directors. You will be taught dance, acting and voice work, how to run a show from start to finish and take your own production on tour.
You will plan and create your own performance as a theatre company, including directing and producing your own pieces. You will experience different styles of performance from physical theatre, cutting edge contemporary theatre and monologues to pantomime. There are various theatre visits and trips to support your learning.
