Music and expressive arts at St. Cuthbert’s:
In the Music and Expressive Arts department we aspire to develop a curiosity for the Arts, develop students’ confidence, self-expression and cultural capital. We offer a wide and successful range of extra-curricular opportunities such as brass band, singing club, drama club and a range of peripatetic lessons. In 2021 we were awarded the Music Mark. At Key stage 3 students receive one lesson of expressive arts per week (drama or music). In years 10 and 11 AQA GCSE Drama and BTEC Music are currently taught as an option subject with a history of successful outcomes and results.

In terms of musical education, there are three main elements that are focused on; performance, composition and analysis. The curriculum at St Cuthbert’s aims to provide a deep understanding of each one of these, through a well-structured, progressive curriculum. By the end of Year 9, students will be ready to move onto a GCSE or BTEC level qualification in the subject, if they choose to do so.
Through the Drama Curriculum students will develop deep knowledge and understanding of performance genres, texts and styles, their context including the theatrical conventions of the period in which they were created through high quality and ambitious opportunities to demonstrate and apply their knowledge and understanding through Making, Performing and Responding to Drama.
