| Art, Music and Drama |
Art is central to each girl's education, providing them with the opportunity to express themselves creatively. Girls are encouraged to use a variety of media: painting, sketching, modelling and collage. They gain knowledge of techniques by studying the work and lives of famous artists. Girls' work is displayed throughout the school and is often entered for local competitions.
Music is given a high priority within the school curriculum and every girl is encouraged to participate and to fulfil her potential. Class music begins from the age of three and by the age of five girls are taught by a specialist teacher. All girls are taught to read music and learn to play the recorder and the ocarina. There are two choirs and girls enjoy participating in concerts, competitions and music festivals. These provide the opportunity for girls to perform in public at their own level.
Drama is an integral part of the curriculum from Little Bramley, through Pre-Prep and up to the girls' final year. All girls are encouraged to perform from an early age through assemblies, concerts and productions which run throughout the academic year.

As girls progress into Prep, many choose one or more additional instruments. Peripatetic teachers provide group and individual tuition and popular instruments include the piano, flute, guitar, violin and clarinet.
