Music Excellence

At The Prebendal School, music is not just an extracurricular activity; it's at the heart of our educational philosophy. We believe in instilling a comprehensive understanding and deep appreciation of music in every child, a gift they will carry with them throughout their lives. 

Our commitment to musical excellence is evident by our consistently outstanding results in music exams, where an impressive 97% of our students earn distinctions or high merits. Many of our pupils attain Grade 5 and beyond each year, often accompanied by a successful Grade 5 theory pass. But beyond the grades, our true aim is to nurture musicianship, emphasising a rich and diverse repertoire.

We take your child on a musical journey. From Nursery to Year 8, all students receive timetabled class music lessons, fostering a deeper understanding of music and encouraging creativity through composition. We aim to equip each pupil with the tools to unlock a deeper understanding of the subject, irrespective of their musical ability.  

Our dedicated team of specialist music teachers includes some of the UK's best, providing top-tier music education to our pupils.

Nearly 95% of our pupils play one or more musical instruments, and practical music-making is woven into each year group's curriculum. From showcase concerts to informal performances, house singing competitions, and inter-house music festivals, our students have numerous opportunities to share their musical talents with the school community and beyond.
