Examinations are a way of us celebrating success, as students achieve a 100% pass rate. Our teachers are also assessed in the continuation of their professional qualifications and training.

​

Our teachers will nominate children to participate in examinations once they feel the individual child has understood the learning objectives of the grade. It is our duty of care to build our dancers to succeed, with strong healthy bodies, and therefore we will only consider children for examinations once we are certain they will achieve to a standard which is reflective of the individual child's capabilities, and when they are confident enough to be comfortable in demonstrating their abilities to an examiner. 

​

The IDTA and RAD are both government approved bodies and therefore grades can be transposed onto the OFQUAL framework. Once the higher grades are accomplished, these are able to be translated into UCAS points.

​​

We also offer assessments under The Royal Ballet School Affiliate Programme.
