“The school aims to develop the musical potential of gifted young people, regardless of race, creed or financial background. The pupils’ exceptional musical achievements are developed through a strong emphasis on the individual and a recognition that each young musician has a unique voice and will develop on their own pathway. Pupils themselves display an astute sense of their own progress. Pupils develop strong knowledge and skills in academic areas, exceptionally so in their musical development. The curriculum is broad … and it includes, as a key language, German. Pupils develop the confidence and self-awareness they will need as performers so that when they leave they recognise their personal strengths and weaknesses.” There were short visits in 2019 and 2022 and a routine inspection in 2024.
