Music instruction is provided weekly to all students by a specialized music educator. During these sessions, students engage with various instruments, participate in singing, and explore digital music. There are different opportunities in the year for children to also sing as a class choir.

The children at Tanto experience dance classes taught by a qualified dance teacher. Our curriculum includes: musicality, coordination, flexibility and balance whilst building upon a large repertoire of dance steps in various styles .

We explore different dance and music genres in order to give the children a wide knowledge and great experience. Throughout the school year, we focus on performance skills and building confidence. 

The school hosts a fantastic upper school play each year in a local theatre where guardians are amazed by the singing, dancing and acting on show. The production is an eagerly awaited performance where children get to execute their dance knowledge and performance skills!

Drama is an essential part of a young child's risk-taking and confidence-building work. Sharing, cooperating, trusting and performing allows young minds to overcome many personal and emotional barriers. 

Children have Drama lessons spread over the year to work on improvisation, trust, script reading and public speaking. Year 1 enjoy the chance to learn about acting through role-play, trust exercises and short script experiences through lessons. 

Once a year, the children in Year 2 and Year 3 rehearse for a short school play to their guardians. This is perfect preparation for the larger school production from Year 4-7 where we hire a theatre and put on a show with dancing, singing and acting to the whole school.

Art & Craft lessons allow all children to explore thoughts, emotions, ideas and concepts through a wide range of media, such as painting, drawing, multimedia, collage, textiles and sculpture each year. 

Our teachers are passionate about linking our curriculum learning to Arts & Crafts and the children enjoy a broad range of activities each year.

Physical Education is often not considered "Arts" but it plays an important role in problem-solving, creative thinking, performance, spatial awareness, confidence building and teamwork alongside the natural benefits of health and exercise. 

Our specialist staff member creates a passionate, high-energy learning opportunity for all - with a great combination of competition and cooperation. We play rugby, football, cricket, athletics and badminton, as well as ice-skating in the winter. We also offer swimming lessons in Year 3 and Year 4 each year.
