At Holy Trinity & S. Silas, we believe in the power of using art, drama and music to inspire, motivate and engage children in their learning.
‘The Arts are at the heart of your school. Everyone seems to take responsibility and ownership for driving the Arts and share good practice across a large number of settings, such as two of your teaching assistants leading workshops on costume design for support staff from eight London Boroughs. Pupils take ownership of the annual Shakespeare Project by designing sets, props, costumes, composing music and performing. There are many opportunities for children to engage in high quality learning, working with professionals’ – HTSS Artsmark Platinum Award, 2021
We have specialist teachers for art, drama and music who work with children and class teachers across the school, from Reception to Year 6.
Our specialist art teacher plans lessons for our EYFS and KS1 classes and delivers lessons to our KS2 classes.
Children are taught to play the recorder by our specialist music teacher, performing together for the school and for our families.
Our EYFS and KS1 children take part in an annual Nativity show, and our KS2 children write and perform a Christmas musical each year.
The whole school takes part in an annual Shakespeare project in the summer term, which culminates in an awe-inspiring performance week! Click on the related pages below to find out more:
