Extra-Curricular<br />
We have a large and wide ranging<br />
extra-curricular programme with<br />
over 50 activities put on either at<br />
lunchtime or after school. We have<br />
a large number of sports on offer<br />
and aim to have something for<br />
everyone with our amazing sports<br />
facilities (which includes a floodlit<br />
astroturf).<br />
Music<br />
Music is central to life at the school and<br />
our link with the cathedral. We believe<br />
in providing regular performance<br />
opportunities both in concerts and<br />
school events. Music is most fun<br />
when done together so we run a wide<br />
range of ensembles. Many students<br />
receive music lessons via the school<br />
and our most accomplished musicians<br />
perform with the Sixth Form students<br />
at Abbeygate to push their musicianship<br />
further.<br />
Drama<br />
Drama is exciting and thriving<br />
at <strong>King</strong> <strong>Ed</strong>ward VI School. Our<br />
students give regular performances,<br />
many of which they direct and/<br />
or devise themselves. Recent<br />
collaborations with the Music and<br />
Dance departments include: ‘Sister<br />
Act’, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’,<br />
‘Oliver!’, ‘Joseph and the Amazing<br />
Technicolour Dreamcoat’ and<br />
‘Grease’. In addition to examination<br />
showcases, Drama productions<br />
include ‘Attempts on her Life’,<br />
‘Amadeus’, ‘Chatroom’ and ‘Songs<br />
for a New World’. Students have<br />
also taken part in performances<br />
of ‘Macbeth’, ‘Othello’ and ‘A<br />
Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at the<br />
Shakespeare Schools Festival and<br />
performed at professional theatre<br />
venues such as The Apex. Our current<br />
school production is School of Rock<br />
and will be performed in December.
