THE ACADEMY
Fleur Elizabeth Academy is professionally run with a dedicated team of staff assisting the Principal, Miss Fleur. It is an inclusive, caring and nurturing environment, enabling pupils to thrive and become strong independent learners. Over the years, great care has been placed on creating a comprehensive timetable that offers training from pre-school to vocational student level.
All staff are fully qualified in the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) syllabus. They are first aid trained and DBS checked. Continuous training in their chosen genres, plus many other child-related subjects are considered an important part of the success of the school and the high level of teaching across the age groups. Miss Fleur, the Principal is at the forefront of changes in the industry and wider teaching community, ensuring parents and carers feel confident their children are being well trained and cared for.
We are proud to say that pupils enjoy a long, fulfilling dance journey from 18 months to 18 years and our upper school is a thriving, vibrant community of talented, supportive young adults.
Our Ethos
The Academy's ethos continues learning through care and encouragement, passion, drive and energy. Along with the self-discipline and commitment shown by staff and encouraged in all pupils, children will learn to succeed and so reap the huge rewards dance has to offer.
All staff are experienced teachers whose values, kindness and respect are reflected in their teaching ability.
Our Core Values:
Come and join us and experience this dance family for yourself.
