Students will study a diverse range of units across the two years. This course provides enrichment and extension, allowing students to excel in their preferred area of study as well as providing a vocational and practical approach to their studies. The course comprises of a mix of externally set tasks examined and marked by Pearson, and internal assignment tasks set and marked by the Centre, culminating in an overall grade of P/M/D/or D* being awarded at the end of the two-year period of study. Students must: • Have a genuine interest and enthusiasm in Dance and commitment to the subject • Have the ability to meet deadlines • Be a reliable group member • Have the commitment to rehearse in their own time
5 GCSEs at grade 4 or above.
A variety of externally assessed units and internally assessed units take place throughout the course. Each external assessment is taken under specified conditions. The styles of external assessment used for qualifications in the Performing Arts (Dance) are: • Set tasks – learners take the assessment during a defined window and demonstrate understanding through completion of a vocational task • Performance – learners prepare for assessment over an extended window and demonstrate skills that generate some non-written evidence. Most units in the sector are internally assessed. This ensures that learners are assessed using a variety of styles to help them develop a broad range of transferable skills. Learners will be given opportunities to: • Write up the findings of their own research • Use case studies to explore complex or unfamiliar situations • Carry out projects for which they have choice over the direction and outcomes • Demonstrate practical and technical skills using appropriate techniques and processes
