At the heart of our Performing Arts Faculty lies a belief in the power of creativity to inspire, connect, and empower every young person at Bella. We are committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment where every learner is encouraged to express themselves, discover their voice, and realise their potential through Music, Drama and Technical Theatre.

Together, we cultivate a vibrant learning community where expression is celebrated, creativity is limitless, and every student is given the opportunity to shine.

We promote creativity, confidence, and diversity by nurturing individual talent, championing our faculty and programmes, and raising awareness of Scotland’s thriving creative industries and career pathways

 We engage young people by creating exciting, hands-on learning experiences that are relevant, inclusive, and collaborative. We broaden access to diverse courses and activities, ensure equity in all we do, and actively involve pupils, parents, and staff across our school community.

 We achieve by valuing creative growth, celebrating success in all its forms, and striving for excellence through high-quality teaching, meaningful assessment, and inclusive opportunities that empower every young person to shine.
