Who needs Wimbledon when we have our very own socially distanced, marked out tennis courts for the children to learn on? We are also extremely lucky to have 2 rounders pitches marked out ready to use. All we need now are the #strawberriesandcream! #cooksspinney https://t.co/7JxKA1HSNG

Children created their own structures in junk modelling today and then used natural materials in the Nature Area to make initials. A wonderfully creative way to end the academic year! #creativeminds #CooksSpinney https://t.co/W37M0NNSqr

Outstanding Education

Supporting primary and secondary schools across Essex and North & East London, BMAT is a growing multi-academy trust with a singular vision: schools, teachers and pupils freed to succeed.

Teaching School

Performing Arts (Drama, Music and Dance)

Drama and performance is taught as a performance module in each year group.

Performance modules also include dance and music elements.

Studied over a half-term, pupils are required to perform to their parents at the end of their module.

Why is the teaching of performing arts important for primary schools?

Performing Arts allow our pupils to develop creative passions, they simultaneously will teach children language and communication skills, helping them to communicate effectively with others with confidence.

Pupils have the chance to work in collaboration with their peers and experience the sense of achievement that comes with perfoming live to an audience.

What is taught?

Each year group will practise and perform the following:

Nursery, Reception and Year 1 - Whoops-a-daisy Angel: A musical Christmas Nativity

Year 2 - Mermaids vs. Pirates

Year 3 - Ye-Ha!: The Wildest Musical in the West

Year 4 - Alice in Wonderland: The Musical

Year 5 - Robin and the Sherwood Hoodies

Year 6 - What's the Crime, Mr Wolf?

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR PERFORMING ARTS CURRICULUM PLEASE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT ON 01279 437590
