Extracurricular Music

Every year, Sixth Form students are active in the wide variety of bands, choirs and smaller ensembles at Crompton House.

Whether or not you are studying music, and whatever your level of musical ability, we have a group for you!

Our musicians are regular performers both in and outside school, including in the Music for Youth Festivals.

Our Chapel Choir sing Evensong at Manchester Cathedral each year, celebrating our Founders Day, and groups play and sign at local Nursing Homes in the run up to Christmas.

The Music Department takes students on regular overseas tours. In 2018, the Brass Ensemble and Chapel Choir toured Rome, playing at St Pauls outside the Walls and elsewhere around the city.

This year, our Orchestra’s entry for Music for Youth was arranged by one of our Sixth Formers. Nathaniel successfully arranged the soundtrack to the game Undertale for his EPQ project.
