‘Your students excelled in every aspect’
Sue Snowdon, Lord-Lieutenant of County Durham

Performing Text
Students sitting these examinations learn how to interpret text when reading aloud. This is excellent preparation for public speaking. This examination provides opportunities for students to practice memorising and performing text. These exams are great for developing an understanding of the written word.

‘Fantastic results. Absolutely delighted. Please congratulate your team on outstanding results!’
Jo Everington, Head Teacher, Red House Independent school.

Individual Acting Skills
Students preparing for the Individual Acting skills programme will be taught about the importance of marrying both the vocal and physical skills to create one artistic intention.

‘Not only are they learning performance and cultural arts and crafts, but people and life skills too which will ensure they are streets ahead of others when they move on to further education and career choices.’
