EXAMS 2024

We have had the results for our first filmed exam entry of 2024 and everyone did an amazing job - well done to you all! Lots of distinctions and high merits.
We are currently arranging more exams to take place during the summer term.
IDTA
We will be arranging IDTA exams in tap and street dance to take place later in the year.
PAST EXAM NEWS
On Wednesday 7th December 2022 we held a session for IDTA tap and street dance exams and rosette awards - our first visiting examiner post-lockdown, and an exciting opportunity for many of our students to take part in exams and awards. Our examiner, Mrs Stansfield, was very encouraging and put us all at ease.
We've had great results from all of our exams taken during 2022, both the recent IDTA exams and all our RAD filmed exams. Well done to everyone who took part.
There will be more opportunities to come during 2023.

pupils have the opportunity to take part in it, if they wish to do so.
LATEST SHOW NEWS
Unfortunately our show, scheduled for July 2020, had to be cancelled because of Covid19.
More recently, the Montgomery, our usual performance venue, has been undergoing renovation work and has been unavailable to book so, as yet, a new date has not been arranged.
MR. MARVEL'S MAGIC SHOP

Come and see the wonderful worlds that await you when you venture inside. Creep through the jungle with explorers on the lookout for tigers, or frolic with clowns at the circus. Swim amongst mermaids and enjoy a hearty 'ho ho ho' with pirates. Take a step into the Wild West, go back in time to the roaring 20's or take a trip to sunny Spain.
There's lots of lively fun to be had when you visit
Mr Marvel's Magic Shop.
