From large inclusive choirs to scholarship level individual musicians, all children are encouraged to explore and respond to music. Our hope is that this will lead to a lifelong love of music in all its richness and diversity.
Most of the children between the ages of 7 to 11 receive individual music lessons at school by highly experienced music teachers. Individual music lessons are offered to pupils in Years 2-6 by consultation with the child’s form teacher and the Director of Music.

The concerts and performances within school and externally provide an enjoyable and integral part of school life. Specific highlights include a Carol Service, the Oxford Music Festival, the Manor Concert, Breakfast Concerts and Tea Concerts. Pupils also regularly perform at Open Days, in assemblies and at other internal school events.

We are delighted that The Manor has joined the prestigious Artsmark Award and has been awarded the silver status. Artsmark is The Arts Council England’s award for schools who champion The Arts. As an Artsmark school we actively celebrate across the curriculum including Art, Design Technology, Music and Drama.
