Yehudi Menuhin founded
our famous school in 1963 and created the ideal conditions in which musically
gifted children might develop their potential to the full on stringed
instruments and piano.
Since 1963 the School has expanded and now educates more than sixty talented
boys and girls between 8 and 18. In 1973 the School was accorded special
status as a Centre of Excellence for the Performing Arts. Since 1975 pupils
at the school have been funded by the Department for Children Schools and Families
only pay a contribution to the cost of their child's education according
to their means. It is intended that children should be able to attend
the school, once selected for their exceptional musical ability, whatever
their parents' financial background. |
