Our Music Department is a vibrant and busy atmosphere of highly motivated students and dedicated staff. Visiting Music Teachers complement an exciting curricular and co-curricular provision. This includes whole year-group Music Festivals in KS3, large GCSE and A-level groups in Music and Music Technology, as well as co-curricular ensembles, including five choirs, five orchestras, two Concert Bands, Junior and Senior Soul Bands, Junior and Senior Jazz Bands as well as an extensive Chamber Music Programme and a developing Jazz Programme. Students benefit from a wide range of performing opportunities, including termly Performance Platforms, in addition to Large Ensemble Concerts and Chamber Concerts.
The school has recently been loaned a Viscount digital organ, courtesy of the Royal College of Organists, which is already generating significant interest and excitement among the students. The ability also to offer instruction in this field could be an advantage.
Visiting Music Teachers (VMTs) are self-employed and the contract for provision of lessons is between parents and the VMT. VMT Service Agreements and arrangements for instrumental lessons are managed by the School, who act as an agent in making the contractual arrangements with parents.
Currently there are about 2 days of teaching available.
