Teaching Staff Mr A Walker (Head of Performing Arts) Mr A Green (Music Technology Coordinator) Mr J Thompson Mrs M Mitcham (AS, GCSE Music and singing) Miss J Hopkins (Head of Drama) Various peripatetic teachers from the Oxfordshire County Council Music Service All our teaching staff are specialists in their own subjects. The Performing Arts Department seeks provide a lively, practical and enjoyable curriculum with a wide range of activities and opportunities outside of lessons to extend and enrich students’ experiences. Music Technology and Drama are recent additions to our curriculum. Music and the Performing Arts at St Birinus are high profile subjects within the school and the wider community. Many of our students perform to a very high standard in both school and County ensembles and some have acted as soloists in our own concerts with the Oxford Symphony Orchestra. We try to seek out and nurture those with special talent, especially if they have not yet been “discovered” and our activities are inclusive with no auditions required in order to take part.
