Extended Curriculum
There are opportunities every lunchtime to participate in a variety of musical activities. We have a flourishing band and all wind players are encouraged to come along. There is a string group, a recorder group and a choir which is open to all. After school there are opportunities for rock bands to rehearse. There are many opportunities for all groups of students to perform during the year, either in our twice yearly concerts or our annual Talent Show.
June 2010 saw the Eskdale production of "Dracula Spectacua" which had been in rehearsal since January. It was Directed by Mr J Cox with muscial direction by Mrs B Anderson. Every single member of the cast worked extremely hard to produce three excellent performances and it was a joy to see these young people developing their talents and growing in confidence.
