Performing arts

At our Academy, we view music and the performing arts as the great connector.

Our performing arts specialism offers students the chance to develop their talents in music, dance and drama. We stage an annual production at a local theatre and have regular smaller in-house concerts. We take part in the ARK wide musical events, such as One Voice and mass choir/instrumental performances.

We cherish our strong relationship with local businesses and groups, such as The Kings Theatre, The Theatre Royal, Express FM radio station, The Old Blacksmiths Recording Studio and the young people's charity, Music Fusion. We are proud that we are involved annually with the Portsmouth Schools Festival, The Shakespeare Schools Festival, Evensong at the Cathedral, and The Pyramid Project along with a number of local primaries.

We are very pleased to offer music tuition on almost all instruments and we employ a range of talented music teachers.
