Wow!

Please take time to listen to, share and celebrate the recording from our musical celebration last Sunday.
What we have in Simon Balle Music is unique. Incredible and off the scale in quality. Team Music is, quite simply, fabulous. The dedication that everyone has is, wow!
I must thank everyone in the team at school - teachers, support, leaders and more. Wow. Wow. Wow. What other school can fill the Saffron Hall with 800 of a musical community? 300 performers. Incredible. Memories for life.

Rock Gig – June 2025

18th June 2025Heather Morgan

What a fantastic gig!

Having students working in bands is always hard work - choices of music, who wants to work with who and so on. What was very clear last night is that when it works, it comes together in spectacular style. Musicians supporting each other across year groups in a way that is an inspiration to see. The inclusive nature of our work. The confidence being developed, the pride in the faces of families.
Such a brilliant evening! Take time to celebrate and say 'well done'. These are life building lessons - teamwork, resilience, hard work. It all came together so well last night. Oh, and the music team working with Rock School are fabulous.

Thank you to all the students and staff of last nights Rock School.  Every band was brilliant.  We are so proud to belong to a school community with such an outstanding music department.

Strings Training Programme Celebration – March 2025

25th March 2025Heather Morgan

To mark the end of the Strings Training Programme (STP), our Musicians performed to their families and peers!

After two terms of learning, the young musicians were able to perform all they had learnt to a very large audience - something that took a lot of bravery!

It was incredible to see so many skills on show, and it is so exciting to see where their musical journey will take them as they progress through the All-through School.

Congratulations to all performers!
