If your daughter is a dancer, an actress or a musician, she will be spoilt for choice, whatever her level. Scholarships are available in Music, Dance and Drama for our most gifted girls but there is a firm emphasis on participation, enthusiasm and enjoyment and the huge benefits involvement in the Arts has for all individuals. In class, your daughter will study Music, Dance and Drama with an option to continue to GCSE and beyond. She will also be able to extend and explore further with a range of extra-curricular clubs. If Music is her passion, your daughter can learn an instrument, join one of our ensembles or perfect her understanding of composition, music technology or music theory. Enthusiastic dancers have a range of styles to choose from, from Street Dance to Contemporary, while thespians can study for speech and drama exams, practise their acting or focus on backstage and wardrobe skills.
