“All pupils interested in music are valued – whatever ability or style, enabling girls to take part as soloists, in ensemble, vocal, orchestral or instrumental; within pop, classical, jazz and music theatre genres.”

“It’s always a joy to see pupils take a step forward as they grasp a topic or take intellectual risks.”

 “September’s Y7 residential trip helps everyone socialise. Playing fun games during form time is also crucial.”

 “The special relationship of trust between pupils and staff means relaxed lessons. The girls care about their school and their learning.”

“Directing our choirs at Choral Evensong in a great cathedral (or on BBC Radio 4) – I’m passionate about English choral traditions and Tormead girls rise to the highest singing standards.”
