We are delighted to share the very proud news that 2025 alumna Lily Robertson has recently successfully passed her Advanced 1 RAD Ballet exam with a High Merit grading at the RAD centre in London.

Taught by Mrs Hannah D’Arcy, Lily began her Ballet training at BGS in Year 3 and has consistently excelled, passing all her examinations from Grade 1 with High Merit or Distinction. Achieving Advanced 1 represents the highest level of Classical Ballet that any student has reached at BGS, marking an extraordinary milestone in her dance journey.

We are incredibly proud of all that Lily has achieved in dance during her time at BGS. Her dedication and talent have been an inspiration to her classmates and teachers alike, and this success is a wonderful way to celebrate her years of hard work.

Miss Bream (Dance Teacher) said: “Watching Lily perform at this level has been a real privilege. She brings a unique grace and energy to her dancing, and her determination to reach Advanced 1 has been truly inspiring.”
