ATTENTION: home school parents & students!!

Introducing

GCSE Dance & Drama

Intensive one year courses starting September 2025

If you’re home educating a young person you’ll already know how difficult it can be to find high-quality, group-based performing arts training — especially if you're looking for something that’s professionally delivered, creatively fulfilling, and leads to real qualifications.

We hear this all the time from home ed families:

“We can find tutors for core subjects, but when it comes to group classes like drama or dance, there’s just nothing local—or it’s not run by people who really know their stuff.”

That’s where we come in...

💡 What’s new?

BIGLITTLE Theatre School is proud to introduce GCSE Dance and GCSE Drama courses designed exclusively for home educated students.

Delivered over one academic year, these AQA-accredited courses offer expert-led, in-person training in a supportive, focused environment where every student is seen, challenged, and encouraged to thrive.

Our teachers aren’t just passionate practitioners—they’re also currently delivering these GCSEs in mainstream education.

That means your child will benefit from up-to-date expertise and the kind of structured, dynamic classroom experience that’s often missing from Home Ed provision.
