Performing Arts Level 1

Our Performing Arts courses offer a dynamic and professionally focused experience that sets us apart from other providers. Learners benefit from our “triple-threat” training in acting, singing, and dancing, with pathways tailored to individual strengths in Musical Theatre, Acting, or Dance. What truly distinguishes our programme is the opportunity to perform in professional venues across Oxfordshire, including the Cornerstone Arts Centre, Oxford Old Fire Station, and the Amey Theatre at Abingdon School, giving students real-world experience in front of live audiences. Our alumni have gone on to prestigious institutions such as Arts Educational, Guildford School of Acting, and Mountview Academy, and have performed in acclaimed productions like Hamilton, Wicked and Guys and Dolls.

This Level 1 course has been introduced to support learners with their first step into the performing arts field, or those that need to also improve their GCSE grades to achieve their first qualification in the performing arts field before progressing onto higher levels.

With passionate tutors, industry-standard facilities including dance studios and a media TV studio, and a curriculum that emphasises creativity, resilience, and professionalism, we prepare students not just for auditions but for thriving careers in the performing arts. Choosing us means joining a vibrant, supportive community where learners are empowered to take ownership of their development and perform to industry standards from day one. Each year you will work collaboratively with the entire department on your Final Major Project, which is a large-scale performance. Previous performance pieces include The Addams Family, Sister Act, Legally Blonde, Grease, Fame, The Wedding Singer, 9-5 and many more!
