Roynon Whole School Show 2024!

The Whole School Show is the biggest event in the RPA calendar, where all classes of all ages & abilities come together, showcase their skills from class and put the school’s take on a classic story.

We are immensely proud of the classes, exams and festivals we offer as a part of the Roynon Performing Arts. The school has been established since 1981, supporting the community and students in their learning and enjoyment of the arts.

This year, the Whole School Show will come to The Point, Eastleigh on 29th & 30th June. It’s a fantastic time to celebrate and showcase the skills learnt and improved in class. All ages and abilities are invited to be a part of this fantastic and unique experience.

What’s more, profits are donated to our affiliated charity Abby’s Heroes, a local children’s cancer charity that has deep connections with the school.

This year will be the 7th theatre performance for the school, showcasing dance, music and drama from across the school’s 60+ classes.

This will also include an appearance from our very own drumming and movement band, Swan Samba.

Keep an eye out on social media as to when the tickets will be released – they sell up really fast!

Abby’s Heroes cake sale!

We are holding a cake sale on Saturday 2nd December to help raise money for our friends at Abby’s Heroes!

They are running a Big Give project with a goal to raise £11250 in a week so we are running a Bake Sale on Saturday!

Can you help with baking? If so, we would love to hear from you! If Saturday isn’t your normal dance day then you would still be very welcome to join in the fun…

We will have Abby’s Heroes Merchandise available to buy too to make it an extra special morning.

The cakes will be outside the college Hall – if you can bake and would like to donate, please let me know and bring the cakes along on Saturday!

The money raised is hoping to enable the charity to give £100 worth of Tesco vouchers to every family they have supported at the Piam Brown ward in 2023!

P.S Did you know the reasons the charity is so close to our hearts? Miss Charlie is Abbys sister and Miss Sarah and Miss Lucy used to teach Abby. They are such a support to families in need at the most difficult of times.

ISTD Dance Exams (tap, ballet & modern)

We as a school pride ourselves in offering a balance between fun and progression.

Since the school’s formation in 1981, dance exams have played a fundamental part in this, to ensure that students have structure and recognised grading to strive for. 

RPA undertake yearly exams for dance, music and drama. For the dance faculty – the longest and most established in the school – we are proud to offer ISTD syllabus and exams. The ISTD is one of the most recognised examinational bodies for dance and so we thoroughly encourage our students of all ages and abilities to undertake these.

Our next round of exams falls near the end of November. A lot of work is carried out behind the scenes for these, from both teacher and student alike. But the end goal is most definitely worth it and a great way to ensure the progression of the dancer.

As always, more details will be sent out in due course via email so parents and carers please make sure you’ve ticked us off as ‘safe’ on your inbox and look out for your child’s timing.

More details on RPA exams and how this and other Roynon work helps support wellbeing can be found here.

Watching Week @ RPA

We’re planning a Watching Week on the w/c 20th November 2023. This is where parents and carers of the student can come and witness what goes on inside the studio, led by our qualified, professional and passionate teachers!

So many parents over the years have found these open weeks to be of use, where they can come into the studio and see what has been learnt and improved upon.

It’s a great opportunity to see what goes on in an average RPA lesson. Students get a real buzz from having an audience – the performing arts are meant to be shared, after all!

More details will follow in subsequent emails from Roynon HQ.

We hope you can make it and join us in celebrating what our lovely school has been up to.

Halloween themed classes

All Roynon classes will have Halloween themed music and content, including some special moves to tie in with this eerie calendar date!

Some classes will be hosting surprise changes for the big, bug-riddled day. This includes teachers dressing up, lighting, effects and more…

Our resident samba band, Swan Samba, will be lighting up their drums especially for their class and all dressing in costume.

…and of course, it’s Spooky Hair Week, meaning that there’s also a competition in place for students to take part in!

There’s bound to be some incredible shots and footage this year, so keep an eye on socials for more!

RPA Performance Team: Taste of Wickham (10.09.23)

Come see our lovely, hard-working and talented Performance Team at Taste of Wickham! Set to perform shortly after our very own samba band ‘Swan Samba’, the team will delight the audience with a selection of the skills and routines learnt in our lesson time…

We pride ourselves in our performances. Any RPA student can join in the fun of the Performance Team, meaning they get access to some fantastic local events and the absolute thrill of showing their skills to the public! All it takes is a little time and perseverance to become a part of our team…!
