RAD Exams
Certified by the Royal Academy of Dance
Exams in Ballet, Modern and Tap are offered to all our students. Although not compulsory, they do show progression.
When signing up for an exam, students are usually required to come to some extra lessons. Costs of these lessons, as well as exam fees, are additional to your term fees.
From Grade 6 and above, pupils can use their RAD exam results towards their UCAS point tariff when applying to relevant courses at University.

Exam Testimonials
My daughter throughly enjoys all aspects of working towards exams. She loves seeing results from how hard she’s worked. She feels completely supported by her teacher and confidently looks forward to exam days. They are always fully prepared and the results show it.
I love exams because I get to see how far I have come. I also love it when Jess does my hair!
My daughter was 5 when she did her first exam. She had so much support on the day and lead up to it, she confidently completed it without any worries. It’s taken the stress out of any exams and she knows if she works hard she will see results.
Dance exams give my children a real sense of achievement and they are an obvious way of allowing them to see how much progress they are making. It’s also a great way of preparing for “real life” in terms of the practice and discipline involved in an exam situation. Most importantly though, they’re so much fun!
I love learning all the grades, getting feedback on how well you did, learning from corrections and getting better.
The teachers work with each child to make sure they are prepared, encouraged and confident and make the whole experience exciting for them. Not to mention the shiny certificate they can proudly display afterwards!
