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.
