This open afternoon is suited to those interested in any of our Sixth Form vocational courses for September 2026 entry. The event features a tour of the school, performances by our students, and the opportunity to meet staff, including the Course Directors and Director of Studies.

At Tring Park School, pupils are given rigorous training in the performing arts, combined with an extensive academic programme of study. Pupils are taught in small classes by well-qualified, highly experienced teachers; This ensures that every pupil is given the best possible chance to attain their maximum potential. Students studying A Levels choose from either Dance, Commercial Music, Acting or Musical Theatre courses. Students are expected to take three A-Level subjects (except Dance course students).

Dance Course

At Sixth Form level, students study classical ballet, contemporary and jazz dance. The curriculum is enhanced by additional classes in pointe work, repertoire, virtuosity, pas de deux, body conditioning, weights classes, Pilates and commercial dance. Second year students continue to develop their skills and the contemporary improvisation is introduced. During the third year of training, dancers join Encore Dance Company and have the opportunity to work with internationally known guest professional choreographers.
