Music plays a vital role in school life as it weaves its way through various school events. All students are taught 2 class music lessons a week and there is an array of extra-curricular activities. Children perform in Windsor community, and beyond, bringing music to the local care homes, church groups and sing at the annual Windsor Christmas light switch on.
Over 77% of eligible pupils have individual music lessons with a huge range of instruments on offer: violin, cello, piano, cornet, trumpet, trombone, flute, clarinet, oboe, guitar and singing. Children regularly excel at music exams and enjoy sharing their success at school assemblies.
Extra-curricular activities include junior, middle and senior choirs and the ever expanding school orchestra. Children have multiple performance opportunities throughout the year: Harvest festival, Carol service, interhouse music competition, musical soirées, assemblies, weekly singing practice and the end of year show, to name but a few. The senior choir also performs at London venues, such as the Royal Albert Hall and the O2 arena and has won multiple choral competitions.
Music is truly at the heart of Upton life and our children are confident performers who enjoy a huge range of musical styles and genres.
