Students get the opportunity to take exams with the RAD, ISTD or Acrobatic Arts when deemed ready by their teacher. Exams are conducted by external examiners on various dates throughout the academic year. It is not compulsory to take exams, but if a student shows good ability, it is encouraged as it provides a focus and gives a sense of achievement.

Students hoping to progress into further education in the performing arts benefit from internationally recognised qualifications. Senior levels also provide UCAS points for university applications.​​​​​
