Music
The Music department holds a key place in the life of St Edmund’s School community. Every pupil receives specialist curriculum Music lessons at Key Stage 3 and it is a popular option choice at Key stage 4 (GCSE).

Our muc used is of a very practical nature, revolving around the areas of performing, composing, listening and appraising. Pupils have many opportunities to work individually, in pairs and groups and are encouraged to develop keyboard skills and their own sense of musical style in all their music work. The department runs a busy extra curricular timetable including choir, instrumental ensembles, recorder ensembles, keyboard and guitar club with many opportunities to perform in various venues throughout the year. The department works closely with the Chaplaincy to provide opportunities for music assemblies and Masses. This year, the department also ran a very successful whole school production of ‘Return to the Forbidden Planet’.
