Teacher of music
At the school music is at the core of the curriculum and valued by all staff and pupils. They believe that no student should be priced out of the opportunity to excel at music and learn and play a musical instrument in an authentic performance environment. Every student in KS3 receives two lessons of music a week. One of these lessons is a triple staffed, Big Band lesson. During this lesson students learn within instrument sections with an expert instrumentalist, as well as playing together as a Big Band. Students also participate in a further curriculum music lesson each week. As a result of their fantastic investment at KS3 they have great numbers at GCSE and students with a real love for music.
