EPA Faculty
Birchwood Artists will have success and make mistakes, but can transform failures into successes, both resulting in creative responses to the world around them.
Birchwood Dance & Drama Creatives speak, listen, collaborate and perform. They are brave. They are risk takers. They are empathetic in equal measure
Birchwood Musicians study music through listening and appraising, composing and performing allowing all students to become confident, creative, multi-skilled and culturally enriched. We encourage a lifelong passion for music
