Performing Arts

The work of the Expressive arts faculty keeps the needs of the pupil’s central to our planning and delivery. We seek to allow pupils to establish a sense of identity and ownership and to strive to reach the limits of their potential. We value the individuality of each pupil
and help each pupil value that individuality in others. The faculty strives to develop each pupil’s audio and visual literacy and to have the confidence to use this knowledge not only as a means of communicating their ideas and feelings but to also make sense of the audio and visual elements of the everyday world.

Through the universal language of expressive arts the faculty wants to provide a vehicle through which the simplest to the most complex ideas can be expressed. We want to express issues of equal opportunities by allowing for freedom of expression – such a freedom is a prerequisite of any community which promotes equal opportunity, the symbolic language of the arts knows no gender, racial, ethnic, cultural, class or social bounds. It has the scope to meet the needs of all pupils.
