AdageKitty Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Hi everyone! Aside from the 5 vocational ballet schools across the country, I was wondering if anyone might know of any good state secondary schools that do dance (or at least those that support it!). Preferably around West London. I was thinking something along the lines that are similar to the Friern Barnet school that have an Extended Arts Programme. Unfortunately they are too far for us. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aklf Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi AdageKitty- are you including YDA -Young Dancers Academy in Shepherds Bush in the 5? There is Also St Marylebone girls school who award a scholarship to 4 or 5 dancers each Year to start in year 7. They are a state academic school with a strong arts/drama/dance focus. If not offered an arts scholarship, entry to the school is broadly based on church attendance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecircus Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Which are the 5 schools? RBS, Elmhurst, Tring and Hammond are the 4 that attract MDS funding, but which is the 5th school you have in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for the St Marylebone tip - I will have a look. 2 hours ago, invisiblecircus said: Which are the 5 schools?

I wasn’t sure whether to include YDA or Moorland (as someone mentioned earlier) so I guess we can even make it 6! Shame that there aren’t many alternatives, however someone at Friern Barnet hinted that they weren’t the only school in London that offered the EAP and after an extensive search I still wasn’t able to find out which they were!

Marianne Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Kensington Aldridge Academy might be a possibility? Plus West London School of Dance (YDA part-time sister school) is just down the road for top-up evening classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdageKitty Posted October 6, 2018 Author Share Posted October 6, 2018 Ah thank you Marianne, it looks like a really good school. It’s a shame that they’re fully non-selective though as we would be completely out of the catchment area. I love their links to the RAD x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
