Music and Drama

All our children participate in a wide range of musical experiences. Weekly music workshops include lively singing, percussion, composition and appreciation sessions. All children learn to play the recorder and violin in Years 2 and 3 and are encouraged to select additional instruments to learn individually or in small groups.

There are opportunities to play in groups from duets to the Danesfield Manor Orchestra. Children in both lower and upper phases are offered the opportunity to sing and perform as part of the junior and senior school choirs.

From the early years upwards, we give children the chance to shine in our annual dramatic productions. All our performances are produced to the highest possible standards, with the upper phase children taking on responsibilities for front of house, lighting, scenery and costumes.

All children have the opportunity to perform and act. We offer elocution lessons to encourage confidence when speaking in public.
