DANCE CURRICULUM INTENT
At North Chadderton School, the Performing Arts curriculum aims to engage, empower and inspire students to develop their creative potential. Our hierarchical curriculum enables students to build up their knowledge sequentially so that they are able to re-create professional repertoire and become creators of original thought-provoking work, through an in-depth understanding of how the arts have evolved. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of challenging texts, genres and composers to enable them to establish their own preferred style, which they will explore in depth. This intends to support students' ability to create original work which encompasses the fundamental, devising, chorographical and composing techniques which will enable them to create performances to a very high standard.
