In our Visual and Performing Arts and Design subjects, we aim to provide a safe space for students to be themselves where they can be as creative and as imaginative as they wish.
Students can work towards qualifications in Art, Design Technology, Music and Drama (Performing Arts), and Hospitality and Catering.
It is incredibly important that students are allowed to express themselves and to be given the chance to do so in a stimulating environment.
In Music, students will be exposed to a variety of rhythmic pieces building their performance skills and knowledge of elements of music. Students will compose and perform in individual sections as well as whole group pieces. This develops students on to using imagery and regular items to remember musical notes, as well as whole class and group singing techniques.
In Drama, we aim to focus on two main points throughout our curriculum:
- The relationship between form and meaning in a piece of drama and the many ways in which drama practitioners create meaning through both acting and technical elements of theatre such as sound, lighting, staging and costume.
- The processes and procedures by which we work creatively and collaboratively to create, shape and develop ideas from stimulus to performance.
