Singing skills are taught as part of the Key Stage 3 curriculum and students are encouraged to join a vocal ensemble.
The school does have a limited number of instruments which are available for students to borrow for a small loan fee of £20 per year. If an instrument is not available, we can put you in touch with music shops which operate rental / purchase schemes. Please be aware that we do not have any Guitars to loan.
