Performing Arts Specialism

At Avanti House, we see the Performing Arts as a powerful means for helping pupils develop self-confidence and communication skills in a wide range of settings.

• A growing understanding of the role of performance as an offering and service to the Divine and to others.
• An awareness of the relationship between excellence, skill and practice.
• Growing confidence in working with and for others in a variety of roles, including leadership.
• A growing ability to deal with new situations, to problem-solve and a range of linguistic, musical and movement abilities.
