Over the past 12 years, we have trained five generations of young performers from across the school as part of our extra-curricular music programme.

Many arrangements are created by the group's musical Director, Mr Steve Cook, and by the students themselves.

Over the years, this outstanding group has developed a reputation for thrilling, breathtaking and energetic performances at school concerts and further afield. The group has achieved great success at the National Festival of music for Youth on three occasions, performed at the Royal Albert Hall at the School's Proms and also performed for HRH Queen Elizabeth II in Liverpool. in 2012, these talented students entertained thousands of specta...    less
