Welcome to Dowdales Arts Online

Dowdales centre

Dowdales School is a Performing Arts College situated in Dalton-in-Furness, a few miles south of the beautiful English Lake District. The school has extensive links with the local community and these are highlighted in its unique commitment to education through Music, Dance and Drama. All lower school pupils receive tuition in all 3 disciplines in the school curriculum.

Outside the school day, teachers, parents and younger pupils are active in community-based ventures such as Furness Music Centre which welcomes students  and adults of all ages and abilities from across the region and Dowdales Community Dance.  Since we became a specialist school we have developed  effective and exciting partnerships with Regional and National institutions  including the Royal Opera House, the Royal Shakespeare Company and  the National Youth Theatre. We have close links with Creative Futures Cumbria and  we are a Creative Partnerships "Change" school.   

To find out more about what we do, to learn how to join Saturday Music School or get involved with other projects, or to find out when there are performances taking place, please take a look around our website.

" This is an outstanding school ....... the school's performing arts specialism is a very significant strength and enable students to develop confidence, take part in community activities and go on to higher education and employment." Ofsted 2007
