Every musician who is eligible is expected to be in an ensemble or choir.
Our aim is a joined up musical pathway for all.
Playing and performing with others is an essential part of being a musician.
That is who we are.
Our musical week
Ensembles rehearse each week after school:

We also run extra sectional and ensemble rehearsals, chamber music and more.
On some Thursdays at 6pm we have our tea time showcase – allowing musicians to perform music they have been working on.
Where there is a clash with revision or something else - talk and we compromise.
