At Benfleet Theatre School, they believe in recognising and celebrating their students' achievements. They hold exams twice a year in November/December and February/March, where qualified examiners assess the students' skills. These qualifications hold significance as grades 5 and above are equivalent to a GCSE pass, and grade 6 is equivalent to an A level pass. To celebrate the students' achievements at the end of each year, a garden party is organised, and certificates are presented by the Mayor.
In addition to exams and presentations, Benfleet Theatre School also hosts an annual summer show. Thanks to their dedicated fund, all costumes are available at a discounted price. Rehearsals always finish at a reasonable time, and the venue is local, making it convenient for both performers and audience members. The school also actively participates in entertaining the community at events such as fetes, residential homes, sporting events, and more. Their performances at the Grosvenor House Hotel for the Taxi Drivers Fund for Under Privileged Children are just one example of their commitment to bringing joy through dance.
