Bring GCSE Dance to Your Dance School!
Give your dancers the opportunity to gain a recognised qualification in a subject they love.
Do you run your own dance school? Have you ever considered offering GCSE Dance to your students?
At ArtsPool Education, we believe that GCSE Dance should be accessible to students studying at private dance schools, not just those attending secondary schools where Dance is offered as a GCSE subject.
We work alongside independent dance schools and their teachers, providing the guidance, expertise and resources needed to deliver a successful two-year GCSE Dance programme.
You teach the dance. We’ll help you with the GCSE!
