The main subject areas covered are Drama, Dance and Music. In all areas there is a strong emphasis on practical creative work and performing to teachers and the rest of the class.

There are opportunities for children to learn and play instruments outside of class lessons. These are supported by the team of instrumental teachers from Wakefield Music Services. In addition there is a range of extracurricular activities: from drama and dance clubs to school production, concert band, soul band, brass band, film and folk and choir.
