What the college says

We currently offer the Level 3 BTEC Extended Certificate in Performing Arts/Dance at year 12 and 13. Students may take this as one of their options when they choose these in year 11. The course studied is equivalent to 1 A level grade A*-E and runs for 6 lessons a week. Much the same as the KS4 course, many different Dance styles are studied and there is a focus on vocational and practical learning with a particular emphasis on performing. Students create their own choreography during the course and have the chance to perform in shows and at other events. Both Jazz and Contemporary technique are studied in depth to give students a good technical grounding should they wish to go onto further training in Dance such as a university degree course.
