We teach Music as an academic subject throughout the Junior, Lower and Upper School. The course develops students’ instrumental and vocal performance, composition, listening, appraising and analysis skills and prepares them for GCSE and A level Music.
Music Technology is an important part of academic and co-curricular activities. Students learn pop song writing, film music composition and remixing through using professional music production software such as Logic Pro as well as practical sound engineering opportunities.

Over 250 pupils have instrumental lessons in school. We have a highly qualified team of over 40 professional musicians (Visiting Music Teachers) who teach weekly one-to-one instrumental and singing lessons. The care and expertise of these teachers prepare pupils for ABRSM and Trinity examinations taken in school at the end of each term.
We offer instrumental music scholarships, choral and organ scholarships for entry at Year 7, 9 & 12. Auditions for instrumental scholarships take place in January of the year of entry and choral scholarship auditions for a place in Chapel Choir are in June.
We have a regular calendar of events for pupils, parents and the wider public to enjoy. Highlights include:
Performance opportunities each year
