Performing Arts

The Performing Arts play a hugely significant role in helping children to develop their creative skills at St Neot School.  Educational theorists are increasingly emphasising the importance of “emotional intelligence”, developing a creative mind and fostering personalities and imaginations as children make their journey through school, to become happy and well rounded individuals.

While Performing Arts allow children to develop creative passions, they simultaneously teach children language and communication skills, helping them to communicate effectively with others with confidence.  Performing Arts are all about self-expression, exploring alternative options and embracing individuality. It’s not black and white, or about right or wrong answers, and this allows children to develop self-confidence and belief in themselves.  With improved self-confidence and self-belief, comes a natural pathway for children to go on to master many more skills that will equip them for life.

Some events our children have participated in, include:

  • Whole school Harvest, Christmas and Easter concerts
  • Year 5/6 Summer Performance
  • Bi-annual Ball
  • Visit to Plymouth Royal Theatre
  • Visit to Hall for Cornwall
