Opportunities
Musical Ensembles
We have a diverse and wide range of ensembles at 网爆黑料, which rehearse during the school week. The ensembles are run by members of the Music department and some of our Instrumental teachers. Our provision is endorsed by our patron Julian Lloyd Webber. Our range of choirs has developed a strong culture of singing with gender equality and high participation. Our 130 Boys choir is Nationally recognised and they have featured in Gareth Malone's BAfta award winning series. Our choirs have also appeared on Howard Goodall's radio programme " class Acts' and on Teachers TV. We are proud to have Howard Goodall as our Choral Patron and Roger Black as our Boys Choir Patron. With over a third of our school actively involved in our ensembles and over 73% of our school cohort playing or singing, music is a very real and true part of the DNA of the school.
