Art, Drama and Music
Music has always played an important part in our School life. We have a large choir as well as an orchestra which practises weekly and gives several annual performances. The sound of music does truly resound through our school, from the triumphant trumpet to the euphonic euphonium!
“Music is my friend. It can cheer me up when I am upset. It can help me work when I am tired. When I am angry music can help me. When I am nervous music can help me.”
Drama is also centre stage, with ambitious productions which are always entertaining and involve large numbers of pupils not only acting but also helping with costumes, make-up, scenery, sound and lighting.
“My favourite bit was when there was a big explosion and paper came out like rain!”
Our pupils' artistic endeavours and achievements are second to none. The quality of the artwork which adorns the corridors and classrooms is dazzling, whilst the life-sized models produced by our GCSE Art students startle the unwary visitor with their vitality and sheer brilliance.
