Performing Arts
Wakefield Tutorial Preparatory School has a strong Performing Arts department that includes drama, spoken English
and music. Children take part in assemblies and school productions with the opportunity to perform to wider external
audiences. The Juniors are entered for examinations each year with the English Speaking Board. This helps to
stimulate self-confidence and self-esteem - vital preparation for today’s world.
There is an orchestra and a recorder group who have also taken part in concerts both in school and at outside venues,
entertaining the elderly etc.
The Infants are applauded during the Spring Revue
Each Christmas the school arranges a carol service at a local church and the Infants stage a Nativity Play.
In the Spring term all the children in school take part in a musical revue.
The pupils in the Junior Department present a musical play in the summer term.

The Yorkshire Post Jazz Quartet
As part of the School's 70 Years Celebrations, the choir enjoyed performing in a concert at Morley Town Hall with the Yorkshire
Post Jazz Quartet.
The School's 70 Years Celebrations have funded the purchase of a new stage, substantial lighting equipment and a state-of-the-art
sound system. This new equipment will encourage even more dynamic performances in future.
All these activities form an integral part of life at Wakefield Tutorial Preparatory School. Parents are invited and encouraged to
attend all these activities.
Individual piano, violin and woodwind lessons are available (10 half hour lessons per term); children are entered for examinations
with the Associated Board of Music.
