The boys in the V Form Classical Civilisation set have been enjoying their study of the Roman Military in the Imperial period. In order to aid their study, on Tuesday 1st October they travelled down to Hadrian’s Wall
The School has a strong tradition of choral music, with 80 boys as members of our Chapel Choir.
The Chapel Choir and Close Harmony Group perform regularly at School Chapel, and at School occasions. Major concerts are given each term both in the School, which has a purpose-built Music School, and at other venues in and around Edinburgh. Nearly, half the School learns an instrument.
Instrumental tuition is available on a wide range of instruments. Instrumental lessons generally take place within the academic teaching day, but are rotated each week to ensure that no particular class lesson is missed frequently. For Sixth Formers, every effort is made to timetable instrumental lessons during private study periods or free time, and for younger pupils, every effort is made to avoid clashes with ‘problem’ subjects. Ample opportunity is given for pupils to give solo performances in the School’s instrumental concerts.
