PERFORMING AND CREATIVE ARTS

The

performing and creative arts are an essential pillar of our curriculum.

Opportunities for artistic expression, encourage our pupils to develop self-confidence and a sense of their own individuality.

The music department at St. George’s is vibrant and welcoming. There are many extra-curricular activities on offer for pupils of all age ranges, including orchestras, bands, and choirs. Instrumental and vocal tuition is provided by a team of specialist peripatetic teachers.

Art is a subject where pupils can express themselves in ways that are not always possible in other courses. At St. George’s, we encourage pupils to embrace and participate in art classes where they can freely experiment with traditional and modern art forms. We want our pupils to practice art in a way that will help them explore the world around them while they develop creative, problem-solving, and critical skills and learn about art practices in different societies and contexts.

The drama department aims to improve creativity and acting ability, while encouraging our pupils to work collaboratively to develop confidence through performance. St. George’s presents a project-based course, in which pupils are exposed to the staging of both scripted and original pieces.

Dance is a powerful ally for developing many of the attributes of a growing child. It helps pupils mature physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively. At St. George’s, we create learning opportunities for all pupils to experience a range of dance genres, from Tap to Hip-Hop.
