Our examining board is the ISTD and they provide a series of graded examinations accredited by Ofqual.<\/p>\n<p>Exams are never compulsory and pupil success is celebrated with &#8216;in house&#8217; certificates and reports in addition to formal exam opportunities. Children can move up the grades (when they are old enough \/ when they are ready) without taking exams.<\/p>\n<p>If choosing to go ahead with an exam entry, candidates usually require some extra lessons leading up to their exam.<\/p>\n<p>We travel to London for exams, or we travel to another Cecchetti teacher (Reading or Petersfield). An exam fee is about \u00a370, billed in advance, and is non refundable.<\/p>\n<p>Exam candidates are required to wear a specific uniform advised by the teacher.<\/p>\n<p>Candidates are awarded with Pass, Merit or Distinction dependent on how well they do in the exam. Results are emailed to the teacher a couple of weeks after the exam. The paper certificates and reports take about 8 weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Miss Jenni really enjoys preparing students for exams and will discuss the options with you if this is something you are interested in.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1824\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1824\" style=\"width: 225px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-scaled.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1824\" src=\"https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/jsba.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/20231210_121854-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Primary Ballet Exam Candidates<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We follow the Cecchetti (che-ke-tea) syllabus and pupils can do graded exams (with an outside examiner) if they wish.
