Music

St. John Fisher values music highly and sees it as an integral part of the school curriculum. As part of our aim to ‘Educate for Life’, we provide an ambitious and challenging Music curriculum for students throughout their time at St. John Fisher that achieves and goes beyond the requirements of the statutory Curriculum. This is reflected in the large numbers of students who engage in instrumental lessons and take part in the wide range of extra-curricular ensembles.

With a wide range of abilities ranging from those with no musical experience to highly experienced musicians, our curriculum is designed to provide enjoyment, develop confidence, learn how to read and write music, perform on musical instruments, work together, use music technology and prepare for later learning, be it at GCSE or A Level. These provide students with opportunities to develop as musicians and perform in situations that give them lifelong experiences. We are a premier partner of Harrogate International Festivals which provides students with access to their Library of unique learning experiences and free concerts.
