Performing Arts

Course summary

The BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Performing Arts is a practical based qualification. This means there is a lot of emphasis on performing. Every year our BTEC performing Arts pupils perform their plays in our Performing Arts Centre and to an audience of pupils and parents. At Kingham Hill this qualification is very much directed at the acting specialism within the broader performing arts area. To prepare our pupils for the practical vigour of the course, pupils are introduced to the theatre practitioner Stanislaviski, using his theories to explore and develop pupils’ knowledge about rehearsing and performing to a live audience. The course is spread over two years and is delivered in the form of internally and externally assessed units
