Music is at the heart of school life for our musicians, offering a range of musical opportunities for pupils to learn and perform.

Our performing arts departments work closely together to deliver a production programme in the College's new theatre and the Prep and Pre-Prep studios, from ensemble pieces and instrumental and jazz concerts to drama recitals and Dance Shows. Our popular Family Concert showcases the talent of our pupils to their parents, grandparents and extended family.
