Music
There is a very strong musical tradition at St John's and the department is housed in a purpose built building.
Tuition is offered in all Orchestral instruments and a wide variety besides. Over three quarters of boys at St John's learn at least one musical instrument. Boys are entered for Associated Board examinations and are prepared for various music festivals.
The Choristers of St John's play a large part in the life of the school singing a regular pattern of services in the School Chapel. The choir recently performed in Rome and sang services in the Vatican. During the summer the choir performed on BBC Radio from the Charles Wood Summer School. There are regular formal and informal concerts throughout the year - the expectation being that every boy is given the opportunity to perform in public. The boys even organise their own concerts from time to time.
Drama also plays an important part in the life of the school and most boys have the opportunity to take part in a great variety of formal and informal productions, which take place throughout the year in the Hoy Theatre.
