Extra-Curricular We have a large and wide ranging extra-curricular programme with over 50 activities put on either at lunchtime or after school. We have a large number of sports on offer and aim to have something for everyone with our amazing sports facilities (which includes a floodlit astroturf). Music Music is central to life at the school and our link with the cathedral. We believe in providing regular performance opportunities both in concerts and school events. Music is most fun when done together so we run a wide range of ensembles. Many students receive music lessons via the school and our most accomplished musicians perform with the Sixth Form students at Abbeygate to push their musicianship further. Drama Drama is exciting and thriving at King Edward VI School. Our students give regular performances, many of which they direct and/ or devise themselves. Recent collaborations with the Music and Dance departments include: ‘Sister Act’, ‘The Phantom of the Opera’, ‘Oliver!’, ‘Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat’ and ‘Grease’. In addition to examination showcases, Drama productions include ‘Attempts on her Life’, ‘Amadeus’, ‘Chatroom’ and ‘Songs for a New World’. Students have also taken part in performances of ‘Macbeth’, ‘Othello’ and ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at the Shakespeare Schools Festival and performed at professional theatre venues such as The Apex. Our current school production is School of Rock and will be performed in December.
Dance The school has partnerships with The Royal Ballet School, Dance East and Hofesh Shechter Dance Company. The annual Performing Arts Showcase is held at The Apex, Bury St Edmunds and is always a dazzling success. The range of Dance genres, skills and performance opportunities on offer for students in Year 7 upwards is vast and this, along with our staff expertise, leads to many students going on to a career in dance.
