Out of School and Music Programmes

We have a mixture of out-of-school hours offerings as well as our in-school programmes.  Outside school hour programmes are user pay.

Orchestra
This is open to any student learning an instrument and practices are one lunchtime per week (Monday’s). This group has a wide range of both instruments and skill levels.  The Orchestra performs at school events throughout the year.  The school asks for a financial contribution towards the cost of employing our outside teacher for orchestra.
School bands
We have two bands, a development band and our senior band.  Auditions are required for these bands.  Both practice on Monday afternoons. The bands perform at school events throughout the year. The school asks for a financial contribution to the cost of employing our outside teacher for the bands.
There are also some out of school activities available through third parties, who deliver programmes before and/or after school,  who can be contacted by the following means:
