What do people say?
Thank you so much for the opportunity to come into Delius and show the children what I do for work for Jobs Week. Every single session was amazing with excellent engagement in something different which surprised me to be honest. I'll take away lots of proud and fond memories from today. It was an absolute privilege to give something back to an amazing school with amazing staff and children so thank you again to every single person who continues to help my child and all the children for that matter, to develop daily.

Music in Delius School is flourishing and thoroughly integrated throughout the curriculum and daily school life. Students are given lots of opportunities to experience and explore music and instruments and it is evident how much confidence they gain from this in many areas of their lives. They obviously really enjoy their music and welcome opportunities to share their results. I look forward to seeing the Delius School performance at Music Spectacular
