Performing Arts
Music St Petroc's has a strong musical tradition. Our Director of Music believes that all children benefit from expressing themselves musically. About 70% of the pupils learn at least one musical instrument, aimed towards Associated Board examinations. The school choir and orchestra perform in the local community and beyond.
There is an Easter music concert and a Carol service each year as well as the Summer Term Musical but the children have regular opportunities to perform publicly at informal concerts and morning assemblies. Many music awards have been won at Senior schools.

Drama

Drama helps to develop self-confidence and the ability to communicate. It gives children a vehicle for the development of skills, such as the ability to address an audience or to improvise under pressure, which will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives.

At St Petroc's the annual school play is a very popular event and all pupils are encouraged to audition. Most children will have a role in the play or in its production and they derive enormous joy and satisfaction from the praise and recognition that they receive.
