Develop Your Talents, Explore Your Dreams

At our school, we believe in nurturing creativity and self-expression. As two of the fundamental pillars of our educational philosophy, art and sports play valuable roles in developing well-rounded, articulate, kind and dynamic young people.

Performing Arts

We encourage all young people to develop their creative talents in every way possible. Creativity is crucial to our students 'ability to express themselves while also being of benefit to society and the economy.

From Kindergarten to post-16 education, our school offers a holistic programme of performing arts via a specialist curriculum. Our curriculum-based art programmes are further enhanced through wonderfully enriching co-curricular programmes delivered by passionate, knowledgeable teachers and subject specialists.

Throughout the academic year, students explore Music, Dance, Drama and Musical Theatre and can showcase their skills in productions alongside their peers. Participation in Performing Arts cultivates critical skills that include public speaking and creative thinking. Taking part in immersive and enjoyable artistic pursuits also increases students' self-confidence, collaboration abilities, and empathy.

Internationally-Recognised Performing Arts Qualifications

Our young artists may cultivate their interests in the arts with qualifications certified by LAMDA (London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts), ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music), industry integration through workshops delivered by professional visiting artists, and collaborative activities with creative organisations, such as the Royal Opera House.

These carefully-curated opportunities create unique learning experiences and enable early identification of emerging talent. Our highly-skilled teaching staff nurture talent, and help learners hone their passions through school and inter-school recitals, whole school productions, audition support, and recommendations for special awards.
