Music
The aim of the Music Department is to offer all pupils the opportunity to gain enjoyment from this broad
subject, at as many different levels as possible.
The Department encourages pupils to learn instruments individually and to participate in the
wide variety of extra-curricular activities on offer. We offer tuition in a
variety of instruments with some 360 children making use of the facilities.
There are many groups and ensembles, an orchestra, string orchestra, swing band,
brass band, string training orchestra quartets, trios and other groups. There
are many opportunities for performance at special events and concerts. The choir
is also a major focal point, singing not only in Chapel but also at a wide
variety of special events.
In the classroom, all pupils are taught the rudiments of music and are introduced to various musical genres through
listening; all classroom activities are based on the National Curriculum recommendations for Key stages 2 and 3.
The Music School has recently opened a brand new computer suite with twenty-one computers, allowing pupils to harness
the latest technology in music.
