Key stage 3
Music is delivered to all key stage students. They have access to a specialist music room and practise rooms along with specialist equipment. We offer extracurricular activities such as school choir along with peripatetic sessions which can be booked through school. Music is vital in schools as we believe it opens young minds to different aesthetics and cultures. It helps students connect and build on divergent thinking and focus.
