ArtsOne Saturday Schools
Developing Excellence in Dance, Drama and Music
ArtsOne offers unique learning experiences and authentic performance opportunities for young people aged from Year 3 through to the sixth form. In our practical sessions, ArtsOne students are encouraged to explore their creativity, to challenge themselves to work on ambitious projects and strive towards their personal goals. Most importantly, ArtsOne is a safe and friendly environment where pupils work freely and can express themselves. By taking part in our high creative and vibrant programmes, students develop their self-confidence, technique and appreciation for their chosen discipline.
The staff at ArtsOne are highly qualified and experienced. They bring real-life industry expertise that gives the students a valuable insight into what it is like to study their chosen discipline in the sixth form and at university and even to prepare for professional work. We have outstanding facilities that range from specialist dance and drama spaces to professional quality music equipment.
Over the course of the year, we offer our ArtsOne students multiple opportunities to showcase their work through performances and competitions. This experience can be particularly beneficial to anyone studying a GCSE, BTEC or A Level course in Dance, Drama and Music as it will give them lots of opportunities to develop their technique and confidence.
Whether students are joining ArtsOne to make new friends or preparing for a future career, everyone is very welcome, and we cannot wait to start working with you.

"Just wanted to say how great I thought the show was last night. Rosie has only been with you on a Saturday since September. She didn't know anyone starting out and was so nervous this week. She has in the past suffered with her confidence and this has been really good for her. Your older students were amazing. Thanks again." - Fay Read
"My son has been attending ArtsOne for a couple of years and absolutely loves it. Having had an interest in theatre and performing, ArtsOne helps to encourage and develop that interest into real acting skills that are a pleasure to see at the end of season performance."
"My son has spent the last year with the team at Arts One.
I can not tell you enough of the development of his confidence. The support and welcome he received from Mr Grant, the team and the other pupils really put my son at ease. He has additional needs and these, alongside his personality and traits, have been accepted and valued by all. He feels part of something amazing. Thank you"
