Carmichael School of Dance & Theatre Arts review

On the evidence, yes for exam-track families: it sits third in our Telford table with five stars on Google and career teachers behind graded RAD and ISTD classes. The review base is the smallest in this round, so read it as a bonus rather than the case. Ask about festival routes too.

Approved-centre status with the ISTD going back decades is stated on the school's own site, and the principal holds ISTD licentiate diplomas with RAD teaching certificates across the staff. No mandatory registration applies to dance schools. Ask which syllabus each of your child's classes follows.

Tuition is billed monthly or half-termly but no fee amounts appear on the pages checked. That means the quote does the talking: send the classes your child would take and ask for each figure together. Confirm the notice period and exam extras before agreeing anything.

The school teaches from The Depot on Holyhead Road in Oakengates, Telford. Graded classes run from nursery to advanced level on its timetable. Send your postcode with the enquiry to confirm the right class. Expect a reply by email or phone.

It ranks third of the ten dance schools in our September round, picked for exam-track teaching from a long-running Oakengates school. We looked first at what customers say. Read the full review alongside the table before enquiring about the right syllabus for your child.

The school teaches from The Depot on Holyhead Road in Oakengates, running graded classes from nursery to advanced level.

Tuition bills monthly or half-termly but no fee amounts appear on the pages checked, so the quote does the talking. Send the classes your child would take, with the syllabus each one follows, and ask for each figure together. Confirm the notice period and which exam extras sit outside the fee. Get the chosen billing route back in plain figures before agreeing anything.

Customers are unanimous at five stars on Google, though across the smallest review base in this round, so read it as a promising sign rather than a settled one. No other review platform appears in the held sources. Read every one of the recent entries on the Google listing yourself, since a small base rewards a close look.

It sits third in our September table, our pick for exam-track ballet, tap and modern from career teachers. The two schools above it bring wider timetables and open pricing, while the flexible schools below trade syllabus depth for booking freedom. Its approved-centre record going back decades is unmatched in this round. Read its review beside the table before enquiring about the right syllabus.
