Structure & Organisation
Pupils are taught in half year groups in Performing Arts. The classes are mixed with regard to both gender and ability. The department runs a carousel system whereby each child works within one subject area for a number of weeks, then moves on to the next subject specialism. They will complete two, six week modules in each subject over the period of a year.
Homework
Written homework is rarely given in this department. Homework is more likely to be given in the form of observation/listening. Pupils who play a musical instrument effectively have homework every night.
