The aim of the department is to develop enjoyment, understanding, skill and imagination in composing, performing and appraising music. We aim to give students the opportunity and encouragement to use music as an expressive and meaningful medium to not only develop emotional intelligence but also resilience and problem-solving skills in addition to using music to promote self-awareness and wellbeing. This aim will be pursued within the curriculum in accordance with National Curriculum guidelines. Students will be encouraged to develop to their maximum potential.
In extra-curricular activities the aim of the department is to achieve the above by giving students the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of events.
