Pupils and students at every level of ability are encouraged to join in music, drama and the arts. All gain confidence as they explore different areas of self-expression and some discover unsuspected talents. Although this may lead some to follow academic courses to GCSE and IB, extra-curricular involvement in creativity and performance is open to anyone. A number decide to maintain their creativity by studying a related course at university, art college or drama school.
A team of peripatetic musicians at the College teaches more than 200 students individual music and singing lessons using the fine facilities provided by the Janet Martin Music School. The College’s ensembles are many and eclectic, both choral and instrumental, catering for all levels of expertise in a range of musical genres and there are several opportunities for these groups to perform in front of audiences.
