Music
The school involves a wide range of musical talent which is represented in the many musical groups held throughout the week. These include Orchestra, Jazz band, Junior Choir, Traditional group, Brass band and Sullivan Singers. there are also several small groups of musicians playing at many events inside and outside school, these include a jazz quartet "Jazz Inc.", string quartets, wind ensembles and pop bands, including the rock and roll band Velvet Brick.
Notable events on Sullivan's calendar include the annual Prize day. This provides an opportunity for Sullivan to display its musical talent. Those present will never forget when birds stopped singing to listen on the Prize day of 2007 when Jonathan Boyd, founder and central figure of Jazz Inc, played a magnificent cadence during a piece by Sullivan's wind band. Anne Boyd, mother and exemplary citizen of this nation, was very proud.

“Let music sound while he doth make his choice;
Then if he lose he makes a swan-like end,
Fading in music.”

And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
