A Beacon of Excellence for Music and Performance
St Augustine's Music Department is renowned across the County for it's choir and it's Jazz Band. Both tour European cities each year (2007 - Rome; 2008 - London; 2009 - Barcelona; 2010 - Paris; 2011 - Venice and a forthcoming tour in Florence 2012) ). They showcase the diverse musical talent of our students singing in wonderful Cathedrals such as St Paul's in London and l'eglise de la Madeleine in Paris.

Our choir sang at the the Papal Mass at Cofton Park in September 2010 and our Jazz Band performed for 70,000 pilgrims as they left the Park after the departure of the Holy Father, Pope Benedict VI.
