Cultural life

The arts are celebrated, valued and developed at Epworth. Artistic activity on all levels feeds into the daily curriculum. Art, music and drama are incorporated into lessons wherever possible.

Dedicated music and drama teachers give our pupils regular specialised lessons. Our choirs are highly regarded and appreciated groups within the school. Our choirs’ regular performances at assemblies and chapel services are an integral part of the school’s life. They perform regularly at inter-school Choir Festivals in the city. The Epworth Primary band allows music pupils to have an extra avenue for their talents. All the pupils learn to play the Recorder in Grade two and the Violin in Grade three at Epworth. A number of music teachers are available on the Epworth campus to offer the pupils individual extra mural lessons on a variety of musical instruments.

Apart from regular presentations in school assemblies, drama takes centre stage when a whole school production takes place. Epworth Primary has delighted in the antics of pupils under other guises on many successful dramatic occasions. As always, participation by all pupils is of great importance.

“Art is the outward expression of an inner life.” Edward Hooper
