Music at Harris Academy Wimbledon

‘Music is essential in the lives of young people.  It is something that permeates everything they are and everything they do.  Young people view the world through a lens of sound - it surrounds their social activity, creates opportunities for creativity and a safe space when the world feels like a challenging place’. Elisabeth Wigley, CEO, Music Merton Foundation.
