The examination boards are the Royal Academy of Dancing for Classical Ballet and The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing for Modern and Tap. All children attending the school will be encouraged to enter examinations to achieve formal qualification and will be able to do so from the age of five. Grades start from pre-primary through to RAD and ISTD Vocational examinations. Graded and Vocational Graded Examinations in Dance at QCF Level 3 are allocated points on the UCAS Tariff. This means that candidates who have achieved a pass or higher in Grades 6, 7, 8, Intermediate and Advanced Foundation, can use their exam result towards their points tariff when applying to university or higher education in the UK.
