The current level of pupils is beginner Year 9 pupils.
The Music Department
Music has, for many years, played a major role in the life of the School. Ralph Vaughan Williams was a pupil there, and many pupils have gone on to be accomplished professional musicians, with a regular stream of pupils entering leading universities and music colleges to continue their studies. There are six permanent music staff at the school, and twenty-eight visiting instrumental teachers. There are many chamber groups, including string quartets, jazz bands, chamber orchestra, symphony orchestra and numerous others. At least one group wins prizes almost annually in the National Schools Chamber Music Competition. There are also five choirs, ranging from a non-auditioning concert choir, two Chapel Choirs and Close Harmony Groups.
