At The Becket School we seek to develop our students and help them grow to become the best version of themselves, to work hard, be loving and to do the right thing. Our curriculum beyond the classroom is designed to provide further opportunities to help the achieve this and broaden their school experience.

We have a lively and exciting Music Department at The Becket School with a wide variety of activities available to students in and out of the classroom. Students who play an instrument or sing are encouraged to join one or more of our ensembles, which rehearse weekly and perform regularly at our own school concerts and external functions. So if you want to sing a solo or maybe just play second triangle in the school band then we have a place for you!
At The Becket School we are pleased to offer a wide range of musical tuition opportunities to all students within the school and within our feeder primaries so that there is continuity from key stage 2 to 3. Our instrumentalists and vocalists benefit from expert tuition provided by both our own peripatetic music teachers and the County Music Service across all the instrumental families. Every student has the chance to take up an instrument or singing lessons and get involved with the extra-curricular musical life of the school. This term we are also rehearsing for our musical Journey to the Forbidden Planet
