The Pre- Professional School

This Specialised Training Programme allows students the opportunity to experience dance training in preparation for a career in dance without leaving secondary education.

 

The programme is a one and/or two day per week programme designed to extend the student in preparation for the demands of a full- time programme with its advancing curriculum. Regular ballet classes are continued and students are examined under the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, in addition to the part-time programme. Students will also be able to participate in the Isobel Anderson Awards and Eisteddfod & competition preparation.

 

Students will need to discuss the options with their regular secondary education provider to support their desires to further develop their dance training during selected school hours. This is often considered as an alternative to some school PE or sporting subjects. Students who attend the part- time school will continue their schooling through their regular high school.
