Academic Focus
Expect everything from Star Wars spin-offs to Mozart – ‘Access to classical music is important, but it’s also just about kids enjoying themselves.’ The school is unique in Wales as the only Anglican choir school, and they sing in national services, including for the King in 2022, as well as for the BBC in Songs of Praise and Radio 3 Evensong.
