Music
Prep Music
Music is woven into daily life; weekly specialist lessons evolve from interactive songs in Pre-Prep to reading, playing, and writing music as pupils progress. Performances across the year give pupils joyful opportunities to share their learning.
Music Instrumental Scheme
Launched in September 2023, the Scheme offers weekly individual instrumental tuition for Year 4 and First Form, recognising the link between musical study and academic success. Year 4 pupils also enjoy an ensemble lesson; First Form pupils have weekly choir and ensemble rehearsals. Classroom Music continues weekly (50 minutes) with a specialist teacher. The School covers tuition and instrument hire for half the year to ensure access; parents of participating pupils can submit instrument preferences.
