At BSV, we believe that music plays a vital role in our student’s education and day-to-day life. It’s a way to help them express their emotions, enhance their mood, foster connections, promote cognitive development and inspire creativity.
We understand that music can have a positive impact on their wellbeing and social relations, nurturing a sense of belonging and community. This is why it has become an essential part of our curriculum.

The music department aims to create confident, resilient, and able musicians who can create high-quality performances, ambitious compositions and write knowledgeably about music across a breadth of genres.
They will be able to use instruments and technology confidently and competently, demonstrating skills which will be valuable during their whole lifetime.
As part of the music programme, we created our School of Music which is open for all the Reception to the Year 11 students who wish to learn to play an instrument such as guitar, drums, violin, ukulele, piano or take singing lessons.
Students receive 30 minutes/week of private music tuition across the school year (33 sessions in total). These lessons take place during the school day and the timetable changes on a weekly basis.
