More detail can be found about all of our academic faculties under the Curriculum sections of our website that cover the Third Form Curriculum, the Fourth Form Curriculum (leading up to GCSE) and the Sixth Form Curriculum.
Almost half of Shrewsbury's pupils receive individual music lessons, often in more than one instrument. A large number of groups give as many pupils as possible the opportunity to perform, from Junior Brass at a Musical Stage evening in the music school's own 200-seat auditorium, through to a full orchestral concert at St. John's Smith Square (a regular feature of Shrewsbury's music programme). A purpose-built new music school, opened in 1999, provides a small concert hall, 20 practice and teaching rooms, two classrooms, and an IT suite equipped with the latest hardware and software. Larger concerts are held in the school's main assembly hall, the Alington Hall, which seats 500.
Please see our Music section in 'Beyond the Classroom' to get a better idea of the range of choirs, bands and other activities that the Music department offers.
