The Arts

Our school has a long tradition of successful music and drama. Music lessons are available and many of our pupils are involved in our weekly extracurricular music programme including a wide range of choirs and ensembles across all music genres and styles. We have an annual concert programme, and our drama and music departments also work collaboratively to produce a musical production bi-annually. 

Venture Overseas

We are twinned with a private school in the south of France (near Saint Etienne) and with a gymnasium near Hannover in Germany.

There are many trips organised throughout the year to a variety of places in the UK and overseas. Larger residential visits with community projects are also available for students to get involved in including Operation Wallacea and World Challenge.
