We audition everyone who applies to ArtsEd. The majority of pupils join the school in either Year 7 or 12, although we also welcome pupils into Years 8 and 9. As we start the curriculum for some of our key GCSE courses in Year 9, we are unable to accept applications for Year 10.
Prospective pupils spend a day in the school with the other applicants, allowing them to get a taste of life here, at the same time as we get to know them. Our staff are very warm and welcoming, and make the day as enjoyable as possible. On the audition day, everyone takes part in the following:
References from the applicant’s current school and past school reports are also taken into consideration.
