​Welcome to Performing Arts at Appleton Academy!

We are very excited to meet you all and we hope that you will enjoy your music and drama lessons as much as we know we will enjoy teaching you.

​Over the next 5 years as performing arts scholars at Appleton you will:
  • explore and engage with a wide range of social, moral, spiritual and cultural experiences in a safe and supportive learning environment through the mediums of music and drama
  • explore personal skills, from confidence and self-presentation to time management and organisational skills
  • move beyond boundaries and experiment with different ideas and aspire to a growth mind set
  • cope with constructive criticism and learn from it, which is transferable across the whole school curriculum
  • question their own perspectives on key, current events through the creation, development and performing of drama
  • create, play, perform and enjoy music both in class and to an audience
  • express their emotions and showcase their understanding of how to perform with awareness of others

Take a look at our transition documents where you will:
  • meet the performing arts team
  • find our ‘Read to get ahead at Appleton Academy’ reading list
  • find a number of activities for you to complete in preparation for you starting with us in September.
