We are proud to say that we have an outstanding history of Performing Arts here at The Hayfield School. Many of our past students work in radio, television and theatre and a number have attended Drama schools in London.
During your Performing Arts lessons we aim to inspire your imagination, to encourage you to work well and communicate with others and to provide opportunities for you to explore the world through a range of fun, active lessons.
The subject will mainly focus on the following disciplines:
Performance – Music, Drama, Dance
