Performing Arts

Performing Arts at Kinver includes Music, Drama & Dance

In recent years we have combined music, drama and dance in theatrical productions such as Beauty and the Beast, Matilda and this year’s summer spectacular Wizard of Oz. Individual Expression - music, performing arts Our successful productions show our commitment as a school to the Performing Arts. Through these valuable experiences students develop skills such as confidence, creativity and teamwork. Many students go on to further develop these skills in our Performing Arts Academy and also in other Local Operatic Societies or Drama Groups. As well as our productions we hold regular music concerts in which a wide range of students showcase their talents. To support this, we offer music lessons in a wide range of instruments delivered by our own team of peripatetic music teachers. As part of the KS3 curriculum students’ study both performance (Dance and Drama) and Music. Our team of peripatetic teachers offer private music lessons in a range of musical instruments or vocal lessons.
