Music

St John Fisher values music highly and sees it as an integral part of the school curriculum. As part of our aim to ‘Educate for Life’, we provide an ambitious and challenging Music curriculum for students throughout their time at St John Fisher that meets and goes beyond the requirements of the statutory curriculum. This is reflected in the large number of students who engage in instrumental lessons and take part in a wide range of extra-curricular ensembles.

With students ranging from those with no musical experience to highly experienced musicians, our curriculum is designed to provide enjoyment, develop confidence, teach students how to read and write music, perform on musical instruments, work collaboratively, use music technology, and prepare for later learning, whether at GCSE or A Level. These opportunities help students develop as musicians and perform in settings that provide lifelong experiences. We are a premier partner of Harrogate International Festivals, which gives students access to its library of unique learning experiences and free concerts.
