The Arts

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;
They have their exits and their entrances,

Shakespeare, from As You Like It, published 1623

Our Trust is passionate about art, music and the performing arts, seeing their educational and cultural value as just as important as subjects that focus on the linguistic, mathematical and scientific disciplines.

Our schools know the critical place the arts play in student learning and development.  Each year, showcases in each of our schools allow students to demonstrate their talents.

“In modern society, art may be the only force that invites expression from the inside out, where the pure light of the wisdom of the soul is realised.”

Jessye Norman, Opera Singer
