Our Intent:
In Performing Arts at Central Lancaster High School we look to develop individuality and encourage pupils to think and express themselves using projection, articulation and physical movements. Pupils are given opportunities through practical rehearsal, performance and analytical activities to bring to life the world of theatre through the study of a range of classical and contemporary texts and using a range of stimuli.
This is supported by regular theatre visits on offer to all children to local and national theatre performances. The practical focus of our Performing Arts curriculum is to enable pupils to develop confidence, communication skills, independence, empathy, commitment and creativity so that they can successfully explore texts, perform creatively and comprehensively evaluate their performance to harness a life-long love of the performing arts.
