The power of an all-through music education! Small hands making big sounds in Reception grow into talented GCSE musicians by Year 11. We're so proud to support our pupils at every stage of their musical journey. Welcome songs, dancing, and egg shakers! Reception are loving their very first music lessons with specialist Music teacher Mrs Smith. Lunchtime productivity: GCSE Music students refining their compositions in Studio 3. Year 11 pupils working on their solo performance as part of their GCSE. Aren't they amazing! Stay tuned for details on our Musicians' Evenings coming up later this yearwhere our incredible talent takes the stage!
