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.
