Music                  Curriculum Vision

At All Saints we aim to teach ‘musically’, within a thriving and energetic department. Students develop their compositional, listening and performance skills through practical activities, incorporating music technology whenever possible.

All students are encouraged to pursue their own musical interests and perform as a soloist and within an ensemble in a nurturing environment.

We offer a range of performance opportunities throughout the year for all year groups and enrich classroom music with extra-curricular activities and visits.
