Royal Northern College of Music

For the past two years the G.C.S.E. music group have been fortunate to have worked with resident composer and students. The pupils have composed music for different styles of instruments and then had them recorded at the RNCM. The A level group has also had an opportunity to work with RNCM and a professional string quartet.

African Music

We have had visitors who have worked with year 9 pupils. Pupils learnt African drumming, songs and dance.

Music Performances

Annually the music department has two music concerts a year, in November and May and the choir visits the local Library to perform a coffee and carols morning for members of the local community to attend.  They also hold a carol service every year at the local church.

The school also hosts the Horwich Music Festival which is an opportunity for year 6 pupils to perform songs in front of one another and sing two mass songs led by the head of music.
