Mrs Winter (Head of Dance)

It has been wonderful to continue dance training with the Sixth Form and 5T who have been self-isolating at home. The Dance teachers are very experienced in delivering lessons in Google Classroom and some beautiful work has been achieved during these sessions, as the girls work towards examinations in Ballet, Jazz, Modern and Tap. The sessions can even be recorded and accessed when it is more convenient to the dancers.

Our Sixth Form girls who are working hard to master The RAD Ballet Grade 8 Syllabus for their exam in December, have been very proactive in their own home environment whilst Mrs D’Arcy teaches on the school premises.

We love the commitment that the girls have towards these teaching and learning strategies. Well done girls!
