Our clients based around the world, have a range of interests - including those who are looking for a traditional British boarding experience along with provision that allows for continued participation in Performing Arts. In our latest blog, we advise what to look for if looking for a school which is strong in this area.
There are several factors to consider when looking for top UK boarding schools that have excellent Performing Arts provision. As a starting point, you may want to look at the school timetable coupled with a list of Performing Arts activities - this will allow you to understand the weighting and split of academic learning and how much time there will be to explore activities, such as singing, dancing and acting.
You will find top UK boarding schools who specialise in Performing Arts will potentially offer qualifications in the subject, which can be taken alongside the regular school timetable or integrated within it. An example would be the BTEC in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre), which is a Level 3 qualification. Furthermore, you may find that some of the best British boarding schools may couple this with extensive Performing Arts extra-curricular activities to offer further opportunity.
It is always a good sign if the school has a strong teaching profile with experience and links outside of traditional education. Quite often, top UK boarding schools will offer multiple levels within their provision to cater for students of different levels and experience. We also advise our clients to look at the number of annual productions, singing opportunities, if preparation for LAMDA exams is offered and if there is opportunity to prepare for ABRSM examinations. For the students interested in Dance, it is good to know the styles that are offered and who will deliver the teaching. Last, but certainly not least, we recommend exploring the level of facilities in the school (is there a black box theatre for example?) and examples of students who have gone on to future success in those fields. An experienced education consultant will be able to guide you through these aspects and help you establish schools which may be a good match.
