REGULATORY AND EXTERNAL
Recognition : Update
The Academy is recognised in England and Northern
Ireland by Ofqual, and in Wales by the Welsh
Government, to offer qualifications on the
Qualifications and Credit Framework (QCF).
The Academy is also recognised in England by
Ofqual, in Wales by the Welsh Government, and in
Northern Ireland by the Council for the Curriculum,
Examinations and Assessment (CCEA), to offer
General Qualifications; however, the Academy does
not currently offer any General Qualifications.
Accordingly, the Academy has removed the CCEA
logo from its QCF Certificates.
The Academy currently delivers QCF qualifications
in all countries worldwide, with the exception of
Scotland, where it delivers SQCF qualifications.

A summary of key changes between the 2012 and 2013 Specifications is given below:
Reference
Specifications
The Examinations Board continually monitors all its
policies, both published and internal. Each policy is
subject to an annual review; in addition, policies may
be updated at other times due to the requirements
of the examination regulators. This process is
managed by the Examinations Quality Assurance
Committee, chaired by the Director of Examinations,
which reports to the Artistic and Examinations
sub-Committee of the Board of Trustees.
A revised suite of Specification documentation,
dated 1 January 2013, was published at the
beginning of the year. Since then, a few further
amendments and changes have been made, mainly
with respect to markschemes and assessment
criteria. These new editions are dated 1 March and
are the current official versions, except for ‘Dance to
Your Own Tune’ and the Solo Seal Award, for which
the 1 January editions remain valid.
1.3.3
Free Movement has now been subsumed within the definition of ‘Ballet’, in
accordance with the current syllabus development programme
1.4
(and elsewhere as appropriate): text has been updated to reflect the fact that
Presentation Classes are now only offered from Grade 4, while Class Awards are
offered up to and including Grade 3, and Solo Performance Awards are offered at
Grades 1-3
2.1.1
Statement of recognition amended to align with information given under ‘Recognition
in the United Kingdom’ above
Normally we will only alert you to the detail of
changes when there is a substantial impact on your
day-to-day involvement with the Examinations
Board.
The Specifications are the authoritative source for
Examinations Board policy, procedural and
administrative information, syllabus content and
assessment criteria. As such, we recommend that all
teachers acquaint themselves with these important
documents, and use them as the first point of
reference for queries related to examinations.
3.1.2
A new clause related to the registration of Schools associated with previous malpractice
3.3.18
The restrictions on entry for Demonstration Classes (including the requirement to also
enter Examinations / Class Awards / Presentation Classes, and the ineligibility of
Demonstration Classes as part of the minimum time requirement) have been removed
3.3.20
New guidelines related to teachers who ‘join together’ for one entry
3.3.14, 4.1.2
New cut-off dates for minimum age requirements
It should be noted that there are two separate suites
of documentation: one for examinations offered
outside Scotland, and the other for examinations
offered in Scotland. The full list of documents is as
follows:
4.2
Pre-requisites section now applies to Solo Performance Awards as well as Vocational
Graded Examinations
4.6.5
Minimum requirements for studio sizes for Intermediate Foundation / Intermediate
Examinations in AECs are now recommended, not required
4.7.7
Where a mixture of live and recorded music is permitted, the pianist should operate
the CD
4.7.9
A screen placed between CD operator and candidates is best practice
5.6 – 5.12
It should be noted that these guidelines deal primarily with the administration of these
various classes and examinations. Information about the content is found in the
relevant Specification
5.9
A number of amendments and clarifications have been made to the guidelines on the
administration of Solo Performance Awards
5.16.4
Re-entries due to withdrawal may be for the same or higher level of examination, with
any balance in fee payable
6.2.9
New clause indicating that the Academy reserves the right, in the interests of
candidates, to release results to another person in exceptional circumstances, eg. in
the event of a dispute between a School and a teacher

A comprehensive review of markschemes, assessment criteria, and definitions of
terminology has been carried out. All markschemes are now in line with those devised
as part of recent syllabus developments, making the approach employed more
unified, consistent, and straightforward. See the article on markschemes published in
the June 2012 edition of Focus on Exams

Incorrect Certificates
During November 2012, owing to an administrative
error, some Certificates issued by the RAD for
qualifications regulated by Ofqual and the Welsh
Government contained some errors. These errors
related to the titling of the qualifications and the
Regulators’ logos, as well as some minor errors in
design and layout.
It is important to note that, in the case of the errors
of titling, these results are not considered by the
regulators to be regulated qualifications.
Accordingly, any candidate wishing to obtain
independent verification of the legitimacy of their
qualification may have this called into question.
However, no incorrect results or grades were issued,
and the RAD Examinations Board will accept and
confirm all these Certificates as legitimate for its
own purposes.
Accordingly, the RAD is happy to re-issue a correct
Certificate free of charge for any candidate who
received an incorrect Certificate. However, these
replacements will need to be issued in accordance
with our Policy and procedures for processing and
issuing results and certificates, available at:
4
www.rad.org.uk/certificates
This includes requirements to return the incorrect
Certificate before the replacement is issued, and
‘REPLACEMENT CERTIFICATE’ to be printed at the
bottom of each replacement Certificate.
Incorrect Certificates may be identified as follows:
1. Grades 1-5: the word ‘Award’ in the title has been
incorrectly replaced by ‘Certificate’; eg. ‘Level 1
Certificate’ rather than ‘Level 1 Award’.
2. Grades 6-7: the word ‘Certificate’ in the title has
been incorrectly replaced by ‘Award’; eg. ‘Level 3
Award’ rather than ‘Level 3 Certificate’.
3. The Ofqual logo does not include the ‘For more
information...’ strapline, and the logo of the Welsh
Assembly Government rather than that of the Welsh
Government is used.
4. Intermediate, Advanced Foundation, and
Advanced 1 & 2 Certificates: a small space between
the ‘QCF Unit’ and ‘European...’ lines is missing.
(This does NOT mean that the qualification is invalid,
and is an error of design only).
We will shortly be changing the appearance of
Presentation Class and Demonstration Class
Certificates.
The new designs will incorporate a monochrome
coat of arms (red for Demonstration Classes, blue
for Presentation Classes), replacing the multicoloured coat of arms currently on the Presentation
Class certificates, and the ‘star burst’ Demonstration
Class Certificate.
The Presentation class will appear similar; it will only
be the colour of the coat of arms that is changing.
The Demonstration Class certificate change is more
significant: it will align more closely with the
Presentation Class Certificate, and also offers
children taking the Demonstration Classes a
certificate that looks more professional and ‘grown
up’, and which bears a clearer association with the
RAD brand.
New versions of the Progress reports for Grades 4-5
Presentation Classes are in production. These will
no longer have Grades 1-3 listed on them, as the
Grades 1-3 Presentation Classes have been
replaced by Class Awards.
Examination Entry
When entering candidates for examinations, please
ensure that the most up-to-date versions of the
online AEC entry forms are used. Using previous
versions of the form will mean that the fees are
incorrect:
SECTION 2
SECTION 2
Presentation and Demonstration Class
Certificates and Progress Reports
Reference

asp?id=632&realCat=480
Please ensure that full addresses for examination
studios (AECs), including building number or name,
street, town and postal code, are provided, so that
the Examiner has full information for travel to the
correct location.
After entry, any changes to an examination schedule
should be sent to the organising RAD Office as soon
as they are known, so that the Examiner can be
informed, and prepare for the change. In accordance
with paragraph 3.6.6 of Examinations Information,
Rules & Regulations, such changes should only be
made in exceptional circumstances, and an
administration fee is normally payable. Examiners
will not normally accept any changes to the agreed
schedule on the day of the examinations.
Study Choice Forms
New study choice forms are now available from:
These include provision for the Solo Performance
Awards as well as all Graded Examinations. The
forms are now optional, and essentially for use
where it is felt that there might be communication
problems between the candidates and the Examiner.
5
Conditions in examination studios
Music
Marking
When setting candidates for exams, teachers should
refer to Examinations Information Rules and
Regulations (Section 4.4) for information on the
maximum number of candidates that can be
examined in a set.
There have been instances reported where studios
are too cold for examinations. Please note
paragraph 4.6.9 of Examination, Information Rules
and Regulations which states that ‘the studio should
be at a suitable working temperature, which should
not normally fall below 18.3°C/65°F. It should be
well ventilated and heated as appropriate and in
extremely cold weather extra heating may need to
be provided’.
Where live music is used in examinations, it is
strongly advised that candidates rehearse with the
pianist prior to their examination. This gives them a
chance to get used to the experience of dancing to
live music, which can sound different to recordings
made for rehearsal purposes.
Please note that all Examiners, whether RAD
Examiners (formerly Grades Examiners), Vocational
Grades Examiners, or Dual Examiners, receive
exactly the same training, and are subject to exactly
the same monitoring and standardisation
procedures, with respect to examining Intermediate
Foundation and Intermediate Examinations. The
approaches to assessment used in AECs and RAVs
are exactly the same. Any concerns about this
matter should be expressed in accordance with the
Examinations Board’s policy on complaints,
enquiries about results, and appeals, available on
RAD websites.
This information should be used to help ensure that
sets are as full as possible, or if numbers will result
in an incomplete set of candidates, to set them in a
logical and efficient fashion. For example, 5
candidates taking Grade 5 should be set as 3 and 2,
rather than 4 and 1. 10 candidates taking Primary in
Dance should preferably be set as 4 – 4 − 2,
although 3 – 3 – 4 is acceptable.
Candidates should not be set in smaller numbers
than necessary in order to make up the minimum
time requirement.
In sets of 3 candidates, where the Specification
details exercises to be taken 2 x 2, exercises should
be set 2 + 1.
The single candidate can dance alone, or
alternatively the teacher can arrange for a candidate
in the first pair to dance again with the third
candidate.
Please be aware of the most logical, financially
viable and candidate-friendly way to set candidates,
and apply this knowledge when setting candidates.

Examiner training
Examiner training programmes took place in
October 2012 in Sydney, Australia, and in March
2013 at RAD headquarters, London. As has been
standard practice for many years, the new
Examiners have been shadowing established RAD
Examiners as part of their training programme.
It has been wonderful to have support from teachers
who have found themselves hosting two Examiners
for their examination session. ‘I think my little ones
will be delighted to have, not just one, but two
Examiners: I will tell them that they must dance
twice as well as they normally do!’ was the comment
from one teacher.
Some Examiners have reported that recorded music
is being played too loudly during examinations. This
can affect candidates’ responses to the different
dynamics of the music. Equally, of course, a volume
level which is too soft can have a similar effect.
Testing the playback equipment before the start of
the examination will ensure that the music is played
at an appropriate volume.
Please note that where the syllabus indicates that
live music must be used in examinations, this
requirement MUST be followed, even if most other
examinations in a session use recorded music only
(see the article in the previous edition of Focus on
Exams on this matter). Where a pianist is engaged
for examinations and does not arrive on the
Examination day, the examinations will normally
need to be cancelled and rescheduled. In
exceptional circumstances, alternative provision can
be made; please contact your local RAD Office or
RAD headquarters in such circumstances.
SECTION 2
SECTION 2
Candidate sets
As mentioned above in relation to Specifications, a
comprehensive revision of examination
markschemes has been undertaken. As part of this,
Examiners will no longer award a mark of 0 where
one or two exercises which relate to that component
mark are not shown. Instead, the Examiner will scale
the technique, music and performance marks
appropriately, according to the proportion of
exercises shown. A mark of 0 is only awarded for
‘no work shown’; i.e. no work at all related to that
particular component mark.
7
‘Dance to Your Own Tune’, the curriculum for
children from 2½ to 5 years, was launched in
2004 and continues to be the essential resource
for all who teach dance to young children.
The market for activities for young children has
never been greater. There is an increasing
acceptance of the importance of early years
education, and parents are keen to enrol their
children in as many activities as possible, in order to
provide them with a head start in life. These
activities can greatly impact on children’s
development, but, as in all aspects of education, this
depends on the approach of the teacher and the
curriculum taught.
Dance continues to be one of the most popular of
such activities. The heightened exposure of dance in
the media has helped feed the current boom;
classes such as ‘Baby Ballet’ and ‘Mighty Movers’
are in abundance. Never before has the quality of
early years teaching and learning been so important
to a child’s subsequent achievement. The provision
of specialist teachers in all fields of early years
education is essential: classes should be structured
so that they have a real impact on development and
learning, rather than just a way of entertaining
children and keeping them occupied.
8
Royal Academy of Dance teachers have a significant
advantage over their competitors: the Academy’s
early years curriculum, ‘Dance To Your Own Tune’
was planned with a developmental perspective from
the outset. Designed as the foundation to the
Academy’s Pre-Primary in Dance syllabus, the
curriculum helps children become skilful, expressive
and confident movers in an environment that is
developmentally and age-appropriate. Children
dance for a fun-filled lesson, but in addition they
come away with skills that will lead naturally into the
Pre-Primary in Dance syllabus. Endorsing PrePrimary in Dance, David L Gallahue, Professor
Emeritus of Kinesiology at Indiana University and a
leading world expert on motor (movement)
development, states: ‘The focus is on a wide variety
of the fundamental locomotor, manipulative and
stability skills of early childhood. These skills are
important because they form the basis for the more
complex and specialized movement, sport and
dance skills of later childhood and beyond.’
The flexible nature of ‘Dance to Your Own Tune’
means that it can be easily integrated into any ‘Baby
Ballet’ or ‘Mighty Movers’ class, marketed to
parents as the necessary foundation for all future
dance learning. The curriculum is designed for
young children and is split into two levels: Level 1
aimed at 2 ½ - 3 ½ year olds and Level 2 for 3½ - 5
year olds. Following the recent change to the policy
for minimum ages for entry to RAD examinations,
teachers may find that ‘Dance to Your Own Tune’
fills a gap in their provision for this age range.
SECTION 3
SECTION 2
FEATURE
Parents can be reassured that the movement taught
underpins all learning: ‘Movement is the door to
learning’. Learning through movement is central to
‘Dance to Your Own Tune’, not only in the
development of movement, dance and physical
skills but also in promoting learning in key
developmental areas: cognitive, motor, emotional
and social. By experiencing movement, children can
develop their bodies, minds, confidence and
self-esteem, as well as their ability to communicate.
The classes provide an outlet for the young child’s
innate desire to move, and the opportunity to
develop their ability to express themselves, safely,
with co-ordination and control. The non-prescriptive
ethos of the curriculum encourages both teacher
and child to ‘Dance to Their Own Tune’, making
decisions according to the child’s needs and the
teacher’s preferred methodology.
The pack currently comprises sample lessons (DVD),
two CDs, and a Handbook with advice on class
content, planning, management and resources for
recording progress. From July 2013, teachers will
notice a complete redesign of this package: it will be
sold as a book (A4 sized, in line with the format for
other RAD syllabus publications), accompanied by a
wallet containing the DVD and CDs (the content of
the book, DVD and CDs will remain unchanged). In
addition, there will be a colouring book which can be
purchased for children to further their enjoyment of
the various themes as they progress through the
curriculum.
Demonstration Classes are an optional part of the
curriculum; they allow the children to perform a
selection of the material covered over the year to an
invited audience of parents/carers of those
participating, and an RAD Examiner. The Examiner
will not assess the participants, but will watch and
enjoy the demonstration, adding to the sense of
occasion.
9
Never before has ‘Dance to Your Own Tune’ been
more relevant to the needs of the current market.
Parents want quality activities and tuition, and Royal
Academy of Dance teachers can provide them with
that and more. Using the literature supporting the
curriculum, teachers can advertise their early years
classes to parents, who can be reassured that by
following a Royal Academy of Dance curriculum
their children can have the head start they were
hoping for.
