Celebrations at Wigan dance school as students pass exams with flying colours

Students from The Elizabeth Grimshaw School of Dance, at Holy Family Catholic Centre in New Springs, achieved a 100 per cent pass rate in the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing Modern Theatre tests.

Six dancers earned a merit and 32 achieved a distinction, with the highest score being 98 per cent.

Principal Elizabeth Penalver said: “I am so proud of each and every one of the students who took part in the exam session. I think the grades speak for themselves with regards to how hard each student has worked in the run-up to the examinations.

“Students as young as five years old up to 16 took part in the exam session, meaning there was a wide age range to prepare. Each student stepped up to the mark and with 11 students earning more than 90 per cent, I think they have all shown the high standard we have.”
