Extra-Curricular<br />

We have a large and wide ranging<br />

extra-curricular programme with<br />

over 60 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 />

astro football pitch and a full-size<br />

athletics track).<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 at<br />

Abbeygate Sixth Form College, to push<br />

their musicianship further.<br />

Drama and Dance<br />

Drama and the Performing Arts is<br />

exciting and thriving at King Edward<br />

VI School. Our students give regular<br />

performances, many of which they<br />

direct and/or devise themselves.<br />

Our big production last year was<br />

the ‘School of Rock’ which was a<br />

dazzling display of energy, fun and<br />

talent. Many students from Year 7<br />

were able to get involved and shine,<br />

even in their first year at King<br />

Edward VI. We also participate in<br />

Shakespeare Schools Festival and<br />

perform at professional theatre venues<br />

such as The Apex. Our current school<br />

production is Our Fair Lady and will<br />

be performed in February 2024.
