Performance opportunities and practical work are key features of our wider curriculum, with students able to participate in a range of musical ensembles, concerts, and off-site visits to support their learning. We also take part in the yearly drama performances and encourage all students to take participate. Candidates should expect to become fully involved in the life of the Music Department; immersing themselves in extra-curricular activities including clubs, concerts and school shows, some of which are after school hours.
