Art
Music, craft and performance — because expression is not the preserve of the sighted.
Music, craft and performance — because expression is not the preserve of the sighted.
The arts occupy a serious place in school life. Students sing, play, model, sculpt, act and make — in lessons, in chapel, and at the school events that punctuate the year.
Music in particular runs deep in this school. It is an art form in which blind students frequently excel, it is central to worship, and it builds memory, discipline and confidence in a way few subjects match. Alongside it, the tactile arts — clay, weaving, textiles, construction — give every student a way of making something with their hands and being known for it.
A child who has been applauded for something they made stops thinking of themselves as someone who needs help.
Choral work for chapel, school events and community occasions.
Instrumental teaching, learned by ear and by touch as much as by notation.
Drumming and rhythm work rooted in Burundian musical tradition.
Clay, modelling, weaving and textiles — art that is experienced through the hands.
Performance, voice and public speaking, building confidence in front of an audience.
Regular opportunities to perform for the school, for families and for the wider community.
Arrange a visit and watch a lesson before you decide.
