We are thrilled to share that we are introducing GCSE Dance as an option for our current Year 9s to select as a GCSE Option – starting in September 2025 when the year moves into Year 10.
GCSE Dance will be a new option, on the ‘final options choice’ forms, that will be distributed this week and must be returned by Friday 11th April.
Why are we introducing GCSE Dance?
Dance is a powerful and expressive subject which encourages students to develop their creative, physical, emotional and intellectual capacity. This course recognises the role of dance in young people’s lives and encourages students to perform and choreograph in a range of different styles. The study of professional works develops students’ ability to critically appraise dances of different styles and cultural influences.
If you would like any more information, please feel free to approach a member of our Performing Arts team at Options Evening on Thursday 27th March.
Students can speak to Mr Poole, Ms Taylor or Ms Buckley when available during the school day if you have any questions.
