Pupils are taught in small classes by well-qualified, highly experienced teachers. This ensures that every pupil is given the best possible chance to attain their maximum potential.
In the Sixth Form, depending on the vocational course and academic ability, students can choose to study up to a maximum of three Advanced Level qualifications. Academic lessons take place from 8:30am to 12:55pm followed by vocational classes 1:45pm to 6:30pm each weekday afternoon.
Our Sixth Form courses are for a duration of two years, with the exception of the Dance course which is a three-year programme of study.
Students on the Musical Theatre, Commercial Music and Acting courses are expected to take three A-Level subjects. Due to the fact that they are taking the Trinity diploma, the Dance course does not have this requirement and students can study up to three. Students must select one subject for each option block.
Block A
Music Technology | Maths | Drama and Theatre Studies | History | Psychology | French
Block B
English Literature | Physics | Geography | Business Studies | Religious Studies | Photography
Block C
English Literature | Chemistry | Art | Drama and Theatre Studies
Block D

The school offers scholarships for the Musical Theatre, Acting and Commercial Music courses. Music & Dance Scheme and Dance & Drama Awards are offered to those on the Dance course.

All candidates are required to attend an entrance audition for the school. These are held in the autumn and spring term each year. Suitability for a place is determined on talent and potential shown at the time of audition.
Final auditions take place in February or March of each year, and successful candidates are offered places to start in the following September.
