There are four Choirs, two Orchestras, a Wind Band, and a variety of Ensemble Groups. Concerts, both by pupils and visiting musicians, are features of the School year. Tuition is given in most instruments, as well as in singing. There are eight annual Music Exhibitions on offer. Each Exhibitioner receives free tuition on one instrument for thirty lessons in the year.
Every form has a period of drama each week as part of the curriculum.
Throughout the year every year group stages a short production, whilst the two major School plays take place in the Michaelmas and Lent terms. A group of the best actors take part in the Edinburgh Festival during the Summer vacation. Children not only act, but are involved in stage management, scenery, props, prompting, lighting and sound. With separate, fully equipped technology rooms available for both junior and senior forms, there is scope for a wide range of different activities. There is a specialist Computing Room with many other computers available in the classrooms and House common rooms.
