The department offers a diverse range of extracurricular activities and a concert program, including Lower School and Upper School Choirs (the latter performing SATB repertoire and playing a key role in the Carol Service alongside the Staff Choir), an Orchestra, Junior & Senior Studio Bands, and ad-hoc groups such as Guitar and Ukulele Club.

Our concert series features end-of-term showcases, recitals, and a Year 7 Concert where all Year 7 students perform for parents and staff. Music also plays a significant role in worship, with singing during Mass, Liturgies, and an annual Carol Service. The Music Department collaborates closely with the Drama Department to produce high-quality performances.

The department boasts two classrooms outfitted with keyboards and PCs running Dorico and Cubase software, well-attended practice rooms for peripatetic lessons covering orchestral instruments, Piano, Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums and Voice. Additionally, we have a full Balinese Gamelan Orchestra, a Samba Kit and Steel Pans, providing all KS3 students with opportunities to explore World Music. We also borrow orchestral percussion instruments from Surrey Arts for use by the orchestra.
