How will Performing Arts Courses
support a successful career?
Training in the performing arts develops the ‘soft skills’
such as increased confidence, team working, problem
solving, motivation and self-esteem, aspiration,
emotional and social skills and the management
of personal relationships. Students progress to a
wide range of courses at home and abroad at
internationally recognised institutions such as Bird,
Institute of Contemporary Music Performance,
Guildhall School of Music & Drama, LAMDA, Urdang,
RADA, The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama,
and PARTS (Brussels) to name but a few. We also have
students going straight into training or employment in
the industry itself.
