Winter Exam Session Results 2021

We finally have all the results from our Winter 2021 exam session... outstanding work!

It was a small session compared to usual because many of our graded students have been struggling to complete the work following all the disruption to their learning throughout the pandemic. However, well done to the 70 candidates and their teachers for excellent results in the session, with 60% of the candidates gaining the top band of Distinction and Honours!

RAD Ballet exam results

Of the 35 RAD exam candidates, 2 gained Pass, 18 gained a Merit, and 15 gained Distinction. The Merit marks were generally high this session with many just missing the Distinction by a couple of marks but our Distinction marks were lower than anticipated. We were delighted to have 6 students enter for a Solo Performance Award and every one of them gained a Distinction!

We have a special mention for the students who gained over 80% for their Distinctions:

• Grade 2: Freya Jones  80%
• Grade 4 SPA: Jill Russell  93%

ISTD Tap exams

We only had 5 candidates sit their ISTD tap exams by video submission with 4 Grade 4 candidates and one Grade 6 candidate. Between them they gained 1 high Merit and 4 Distinctions!

• Grade 4: Emily Marsh 82%; Jenna Buchanan 83%; Libby Hardie 80%; 
• Grade 6:  Jennifer Armstrong 81%
