Curriculum Intent

​

The Performing Arts Department strive to lead creative, memorable and inspiring lessons in Drama and Music.

​

We encourage students to work hard in order to reach their full potential and achieve their capabilities.

​

For students to develop and build on their practical skills and understanding as they move through the school to allow all to make progress.

​

We aim to instil within every student a confidence, self-discipline and the ability to communicate effectively with others, becoming fully rounded, creative and responsible young adults.

​

We aim to provide a broad yet rigorous music experience for all pupils.

​

Core music provides pupils with the knowledge and skills to understand the intricacies of music in many styles, and aims to give pupils a solid grounding in musicianship, singing, composition and critical awareness.

​

Core drama provides students with the knowledge and skills to understand the range of different dramatic styles, techniques and ways to build confidence in a range of different performance opportunities.

​

Extra curricular music and drama is a key part of the curriculum offer from KS3 through to KS5. Through the various session on offer, pupils are able to develop their leadership; and their moral, social and cultural understanding, through effective teamwork.
