The Performing Arts Department at Hall Cross is a vibrant department that is locally and nationally recognised for its work. We are an Artsmark Platinum and Music Mark School, which celebrates our high-quality offer both within and beyond the curriculum. This work is driven by the words Imagine, Create, Achieve, Perform, leading to our unique identity, ICA-Perform, with our own branded logo.
This page tries to celebrate the vast range of work that we do, communicate the opportunities for our students to further their performing arts experiences, and be a conduit for our local community to engage with our work.
As well as seeing the work that we do and our events, please click through our links section for ideas of careers in the arts and our Box Office, where you can get tickets for our events, along with other useful external information.

A reminder to Year 10 Students that we are running Work Experience Support Sessions every Monday and Wednesday break time in RC1. This is not to replace your own independent researching but is there as an extra support if you need it. It’s been lovely to see so many of you already popping by! #enjoyingexcellence Via: @hx_careers on Mastodon
