We offer this experience to all ages but they are not compulsory.
Participating in exams ensures the student is progressing through grades to thehighest possible standard that is based nationally not just within our school.
We aim to have exams every year to 18 months as the students spend part of the year studying syllabi and part rehearsing for shows. This will not always be the case however as different students will take different lengths of time to reach the appropriate standard.
To submit students into an exam we need to have enough for a full day in order for an examiner to come to us. We also have to take our ballet, tap/modern and Lyrical/Drama exams seperately due to them being with a different exam board.
