THE PERFORMING ARTS:
Music is developed through vocal and instrumental skills based activities and is delivered to mixed – ability groups, giving the School its characteristically energetic and outgoing musical ethos. There are plenty of opportunities for children of all ages to participate in choirs, orchestras and ensemble. Drama is developed from role play in the Infant School, through to theatre studies in the Senior School. It used as a cross–curricular tool to enhance the study of topics and subjects at relevant stages and as a discipline in its own right. Expressive dance and movement are taught to further the understanding or interpretation of a study or a piece of music, and to instill a sense of control and co–ordination of the body.
The school encourages performances from the youngest ages, in the belief that confidence achieved in this area in the early years can be built on and will develop as a student grows older .
