We are very happy to be able to offer Early Birds Music Club and Choir again.
Early Birds Music Club – Starting Thursday 30th September
Running each Thursday morning before school, Early Birds is a chance for beginners to start learning a new instrument in groups.
For half of the session, children learn in a group tuition class by playing level.
For the other half of the session, children have a general musicianship class which varies across the year and includes singing, rhythm work, notation exercises, improvisation and some ensemble playing.
Children are admitted at 8:00am into Rosen Hall, then split into their music tuition groups. Classes end at 8:55am and children go straight to their classrooms.
Fees: £65/term for tuition; £20/term for instrument hire
Choir – Starting Wednesday 13th October
The choir is for children in Year 4 – Year 6.
The choir performs at external events throughout the year and is suitable for any child who enjoys singing. This year, we already have the Spirit of Christmas event at Sloane Square in the diary.
Choir takes place in Lloyd Hall. Children will be sent to choir directly after school. Parents should collect their children from the main entrance on Waller Road at 4:30pm.
We’ve been delighted to see the hundreds of bookings for our online parent consultations coming in. The teachers are all looking forward to catching up with you.

Join a few minutes early to allow for tech hiccups. Meetings must finish on time, even if they start late.
The meeting will not be in year group teams; they will take place in class teams. example: Not Year 4, but 4 SAVANNAH.
At the end of your meeting, please press the red button the leave:
