Independent School of the Year for the Performing Arts (music & drama) – Entry Form

This award is for the school which most impresses the judges with the breadth and scope of the achievements of its students in the performing arts, relative to their age and stage of development. Any school, with students of any age, can enter for this award.

Judges will be looking for outstanding achievement and wish to understand the role which the school has played in supporting this.. They will be interested to learn about collaboration between the school community and external stakeholders in securing success and to understand the level of technical skills inherent in the achievements described.

Simple lists of competitions and awards won are likely to have less impact than an explanation of the impact of students’ success in the performing arts on the ethos and culture of the wider school and its local community.

The entry should:

• Explain how the student experience in the school has been enriched
• Demonstrate the sustainability and impact of the activities described on the life of the school
