For those students that have a talent for playing a musical instrument, our music department at BAS will help them attain proficiency from beginner to advanced levels. Apart from studying music as part of our curriculum students can also diversify their out of school lessons by learning how to play a range of musical instruments, participating in Band and Choir, led by trained, talented artists and musicians.

Drama is recognised as a subject that benefits the overall learning and development of children. There are three main strands to the effective use of drama: a means to build children’s confidence and develop their social skills; a teaching approach for exploring cross-curricular subjects and issues, and an aid in developing children’s performance and self-presentation skills.

Dance is a vital component of our Physical Education programme. All children have the opportunity to experience creative expression and visual performance through this medium.

Theatre is a dynamic and thriving part of school life here at BAS, with performances and events that showcase the work of our passionate and gifted students. The school community will present several musicals each year, widely attended by staff, parents, friends and family.

The BAS runs a comprehensive instrumental lessons programme. Specialist teachers are employed by the school and work across all our campuses, with lessons taking place during the school day and after school into the evening.

Students are encouraged to take their music-making as far as possible and have the opportunity to take ABRSM music exams.

There are varied ensembles which meet and rehearsing throughout the week at all schools, both during and after school – all provide a great opportunity for students to collaborate on performances and work together in a relaxed and fun but stimulating environment.
