Ian Swatman, Head of Performance at the St Edmund's, says: “Through the opportunities the arts present at St Edmund’s many of our pupils find their own means of expression, they develop strong relationships with their peers and build self-confidence they didn’t know they had.

“A society with a suppression of the arts beyond what we have now is unthinkable. The benefits of the arts in education are well documented, if not always supported, and the fight to keep the arts at the core of our society must not wane. At St Edmund’s, music and the arts are considered a vital component of the education we offer.”
