Ballet exam results

We are once again delighted by the success of our ballet exam candidates with another 100% pass rate this session...

This was the first session we have entered any students for the newly revised RAD Grades 1-3 syllabus. The new syllabus is particularly challenging for young dancers, and the students who sat the exams worked extremely hard and attended regular extra classes. Their hard work (and their parent's too!) paid off as they achieved excellent results.

High marks and medals

In total we had 37 candidates receive Distinction, 55 Merit and 7 Pass with another 21 children gaining their Class Award at Pre-Primary and Primary levels. We are especially excited that the RAD have introduced medals for every examination level and each candidate will receive a gold, silver or bronze medal with their report and certificate.

We are proud of all our dancers and the effort they put in to passing their exam. Special mention must go to those students who gained over 80%:

• Primary Grade: April Beattie 84%, Eilidh Anderson 80%, Hannah Firth 83%, Isla Campbell 80%, Mabel Hepburn 80%, Megan Richards 82%
• Grade One: Anya Phillips 90%, Jessica Brown 81%
• Grade Two: Neela Hossain 82%, Olivia Boath 82%, Serena McCall 81%, Zoe Young 80%
• Grade Three: Eilidh Ryan 80%, Elise Machin 80%, Lucy Guthrie 81%, Seana Scott 80%
• Grade Four: Jennifer Campbell 80%
• Grade Five: Anna McEwan 86%, Catherine Mitchell 80%
• Grade Six: Emma McTeague 81%, Holly Morgan 81%

Another special congratulations to the candidates who gained their Grade 8 Award:

• Chloe Dickson and Christina McCall (Distinction)
• Jennifer Laffan, Kate Inglis, Laura Rutherford, Rebecca Latto (Merit) 

Vocational Graded Exams

The challenging RAD Vocational Graded syllabus is designed for talented young dancers; it is particularly demanding. We are delighted that all of our candidates this session passed with Pass or Merit and each level, Intermendiate Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced Foundation. Well done!
