Performing Arts Facilities


Over the summer there was extensive building work taking place in Theatre 1 and Theatre 2 that has produced fantastic new facilities for the Performing Arts. Theatre 1 has been developed into a larger performance space with a brand new sprung floor so that it is also suitable for dance. The space is custom made for performances and it can hold an audience of over a hundred. There are even more dramatic changes to Theatre 2 which has been developed into a state of the art dance studio equipped with mirrors, ballet barre and sprung floor. The students on the various performing arts courses are delighted with the new spaces and feel that it is a fantastic place to work.
See the new facilities in action at the open evening on Thursday 15th November where A’ Level Drama and Theatre Studies, BTEC National Performing Arts, and BTEC National Dance students will be showcasing a variety of their work for potential sixth form students and their parents. The showcase starts at 6pm and refreshments will be served at the end.
