Dodderhill is a school that encourages and values creativity so the Creative Arts are central to our ethos. Music, art, textiles, drama and catering give plenty of scope for self-expression and independent thought. Weekly lessons with teachers who are passionate about their subjects mean that our pupils create truly impressive pieces of work.
The high standards achieved mean that girls regularly enter and win awards in a variety of local, regional and national competitions.
Music in the school is excellent. As well as reading music, composing, singing and instrumental work, pupils develop an appreciation of music that will last a lifetime. Individual tuition is available from Reception. Enthusiastic pupils can join one of several ensembles - choral or instrumental, modern or classical. Regular performances, in assemblies, concerts and at local festivals are invaluable. Our choral tradition is well known.
Our art curriculum encourages pupils to look at the world in a new way, meshing the inspiration provided by established artists, visits to galleries and museums with their own imaginations. The variety of styles, media and quality of their work, highlights the success of an approach that encourages creative freedom. Click here to visit a Year 6 class.
