Ercall Wood Academy

Performing Arts is an important part of the ethos at Ercall Wood with all students studying Dance, Drama & Music at KS3. The Performing Arts Team look to inspire a love for the Arts and capture the imagination of our students whilst developing confident and caring individuals who are equipped to deal with the world in which they live. Our students enjoy learning through practical activities which encompass a wide range of dance, acting and musical styles and genres. They learn creative ways to express themselves and will use their senses, perceptions, feelings and values to communicate ideas, emotions and experiences. Development of their critical faculties enables them to effectively evaluate their own work and that of others. Through a safe and respectful environment students learn to trust their ideas and abilities and grow in confidence whilst honing teamwork and cooperation skills. Through the study of specific skills and techniques, students will develop their resilience, self-discipline, health and well-being in order to overcome challenges and learn how to present themselves going into real life situations. All students are encourages to develop their skills further through a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including workshops and termly productions. Students with a talent and passion for Performing Arts are encouraged and stretched to perform at the highest level
