Changes at The Hammond

Over the past two years, The Hammond has expanded its premises to include three new developments in dance, drama and music and this has brought many new and exciting challenges to the school.

The Hammond has attracted an ever increasing number of full time pupils and students. The additional space and facilities therein provide the opportunity to expand the current amenities for both the lower school pupils and professional students

As a consequence of the new expansion, a decision has been reached by the School to discontinue the H.S.A. department with effect from July 2010. Members of the current H.S.A. staff are currently setting up a dance school with the approval of The Hammond, more information can be found by calling Lynne Greatorex on 07896 412176

In addition to the vocational training it offers, The Hammond School is already acknowledged for its commitment to the community. The School's varied outreach projects include:

The Hammond's Easter and Summer schools, working with participants drawn from the community

A range of outreach dance initiatives, delivered by the Schools' Community Dance Co-Ordinator, such as work with Save The Family
