About Us:

It is fair to say that Music has a rich heritage here at Springwood. As one of the most vibrant departments in our school it is very rare not to hear music being rehearsed and performed before and after school as well at break and lunch throughout the department area. We currently have over 200 instrumental and singing lessons taking place every week, well above the national average, as well as an Extra-Curricular programme that is second to none with a range of choirs, bands, orchestras and rock/pop groups that engages over one third of the school every week. We have in excess of 10 major performances each year including a 4-day Music festival every July. Music tours are also undertaken both in the UK and Abroad. In 2023 we were shortlisted for ‘Music Department of the Year’, nationally and have also recently accepted the role as one of the ‘Lead Schools’ for the Norfolk and Suffolk Music Hub. The music department hosts a suite of 4 classrooms, all with PCs or Macs, and a recording studio, plus a large number of practice rooms.
