South London Dance School Examinations

Children can be entered into ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance) examinations throughout their training as long as they are attending all the recommended classes.  We hold an annual examination session at our studios towards the end of the spring term.  The teacher decides when a child is ready to take an examination and we politely ask that parents / guardians respect this decision as it is always for the benefit of the child. 

When a child is offered an examination, we recommend that they do enter and ask that parents are supportive of the requirement for extra lessons prior to the examination. Examinations are a good consolidation of class work, encourage focus and commitment, and promote a sense of achievement.

Our March 2020 examination session eventually took place in autumn term 2020 with endless Covid-19 policies in place.  It was a great success and we are very proud of the fantastic results our students achieved especially under such challenging circumstances.  Thank you teachers and parents / carers for your support.

Our 2021 examination session is postponed to the end of the summer term instead of the usual time of end of spring term and we will update parents / carers when possible.
