Welcome to the Music Department. We are a lively and busy department where we aim to make music a fun, enjoyable and accessible experience for all pupils - with an emphasis on lots of practical music making.

The Music Department has outstanding facilities including many practise rooms, a recital hall with a baby grand piano and a dedicated music technology centre complete with keyboards, computers and the latest score writing software. The Ellis Hall also has a magnificent two-manual pipe organ.

As well as the academic staff teaching within the department,there are 15 self-employed instrumental tutors offering specialist tuition in piano, strings, woodwind, brass percussion and voice.

Pupils in Year 7, 8 and 9 study a wide range of music and cover skills such as solo performing, group performing, listening and "theory fun factory" tasks. Many pupils take music to a further stage at GCSE and A Level.

There are many musical clubs that students can join including choirs, orchestra and chamber groups. Throughout the academic year, there are many concerts for pupils to perform in.
