Performing arts

At our Academy, we view music and the performing arts as the great connector.

Music and the performing arts have the power to bring cultures and communities together in a constantly changing world. We have a deep understanding of the power of music and know our shared knowledge of music is crucial for understanding our origins and our place in the world.

Music is a core part of life at our school. The Ark Music Programme offers a wealth of experience for all pupils at all levels, and is designed to build students' confidence and ability and to harness a life-long love of a variety of music. Activities include a variety of individual instrument lessons as well as clubs including senior choir, battle of the bands and jazz band.

In addition, we nurture talent through The Inspiring Excellence ensembles: a fantastic way for students to develop their musicianship and leadership skills, as well as take part in a range of high-profile performances such as Fusion, Ignite and Summer Sounds Music Festival.
