Music is taught throughout the school curriculum, up to GCSE and A-level. Scholarships are awarded annually to talented musicians and a large number of pupils receive private musical tuition across a range of instruments. Each term many of these enter successfully for Music examinations through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music.

Quite apart from its place in the academic curriculum, Music enriches the life of the whole school community. An annual concert programme draws large and appreciative audiences throughout the school year and the House Music Festival regularly attracts over two hundred eager participants.In addition to a full school orchestra and an impressively large choir, there are brass, jazz, popular and concert bands, string quartet, woodwind ensembles, special choir, girls choir and groups put together by pupils themselves in their pursuit of the love of Music.
