Intent

At The Arnewood School we believe that creativity allows each learner to stretch their minds, do new and exciting things, and engage themselves in a way that takes them one step closer to reaching their full potential. Our curriculum develops pupils’ discipline, confidence and ability to take risks by developing knowledge of a variety of theatre styles, genres and techniques, we also strive to enable our pupils to look at the world around them, to ask critical questions about it and to be aware of the issues and opportunities we face. We encourage our pupils to participate in a range of extra-curricular trips, to be involved in school productions and to take advantage of our strong links with local theatre and performing arts groups.
