Music

At St. John's we teach music as a discrete subject but is also a large part of our daily lives - we sign hymns during each collective worship and take part in a weekly worship through song. We use the scheme GetSet4Music to support our teaching of music.

Our dedicated Music Room, named after our Benefactor Miss Ann Harris, holds a wonderful selection of musical instruments and is used by a variety of peripatetic music tutors for weekly lessons  - guitar and woodwind lessons are partiularly popular!

We attend many local and national venues - including concerts at St. John's Church and Young Voices concerts in London/Birmingham.

Please read our Curriculum Overview for more details.

Musical Opportunities at St John’s

Young Voices at Wembley

Last year, our Young Voices Choir had the most wonderful day at The Young Voices Concert held at the OVO Arena, Wembley. They joined 5,000 children from schools across the country to make up the largest school choir in the world! Young Voices was created in 2011 for the purpose of advancing the education of children by developing their skills and understanding of music and singing. Over the last few months Miss Wood and the St John’s Young Voices Choir have been hard at work perfecting their voices and learning the words to a range of songs from pop classics, songs from musical theatre and folk songs! Well done to all involved and a huge thank you to all the adults who joined the choir for the day. The children were a credit to St John’s and made us super proud! Take a look at the photos to see what an amazing day they had!
