A message from our principal 

At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to giving every student both a rich academic education and the opportunity to excel in their specialist training. We hold high expectations of our young people and support them to strive for excellence in both their studies and their art.

In our school community, we encourage students to develop not only a genuine love of learning but also respect for themselves and those around them. We know that young people flourish when surrounded by peers who share their passion, challenge them and inspire them by example.

Our extended school day, together with access to specialist classrooms, studios, and practice spaces, allows students to integrate their academic and artistic pathways in meaningful ways. This structure enables us to respond to individual needs while ensuring that ensembles, performances, and exhibitions sit seamlessly within the broader curriculum.

We are also proud to welcome leading practitioners into our community as teachers, mentors and guest artists. Their expertise enriches the learning experience and provides our students with invaluable insights into professional practice.

Above all, our school is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment, one that recognises and supports the diverse academic, artistic, cultural, health and wellbeing needs of every young person.
