Mission and Aims

Mission

The mission of The Purcell School is to provide young musicians who demonstrate the potential to become exceptional (irrespective of background) with outstanding teaching within a supportive school environment and to equip them with the self-confidence, adaptability, maturity and perspective to sustain their professional development and personal fulfilment throughout their lives.

Aims

  • To sustain a safe, happy and healthy environment in which all can flourish musically, academically and emotionally.
  • To deliver outstanding musical and academic education.
  • To provide a range of high-profile and developmental performance opportunities.
  • To deliver personalised pastoral care and support so that the individual needs of each student are met.
  • To provide access to musical opportunity and widen participation in areas where this is especially difficult.
  • Maintain (as far as is practically possible) open access by admitting students solely on their ability, not according to financial means.

Strategic Plan

In September 2021, Purcell’s Principal Paul Bambrough launched the School’s 2021 – 2026 Strategic Plan.
