Our Music Department is a thriving and inclusive hub of creativity, offering outstanding opportunities for students of all abilities. Supported by 20 specialist peripatetic teachers, music is academically strong, with high uptake at GCSE and A Level – and a consistent record of students progressing to top universities and music colleges. Beyond the classroom, a rich co-curricular programme of 21 weekly ensembles and over 30 annual performances provides regular opportunities to perform, collaborate, and develop confidence, with junior and senior music tours further enriching students’ experiences.
