Singing skills are taught as part of the Key Stage 3 curriculum and students are encouraged to join a vocal ensemble.

The school does have a limited number of instruments which are available for students to borrow for a small loan fee of £10 per year. If an instrument is not available, we can put you in touch with music shops which operate rental / purchase schemes. Please be aware that we do not have any Guitars to loan. You would need to provide your own instrument should you want to have Guitar lessons.

Payments can be spread over three terms and are payable in advance.  A reminder of payment deadlines will be emailed to you.  For Year 7 students a payment of £160 for the first term is due by Friday 30th August 2024.  If you prefer, you can make full payment of £480.  Payment should be made on ParentPay (details of how to to this will be provided once we have confirmed we can accommodate your lesson request).
