Music is taught from primary all the way to options by specialist teachers and even when not chosen for their MYP (GCSE equivalent) they can continue to take part in the musical side of the school including performances. And what school doesn't charge for individual music lessons? Drama is offered as an extra curricular activity in primary and taught in secondary. But no drama option at MYP, there is at IB Diploma though. Sports are taught by specialist from KS2 onwards. Primary can use specialist large sports halls. Free lunch clubs for basketball ball, volleyball, football, etc. and paid activities after school. The buildings were neglected by the government for many years and the school is slowly improving things. The government are planning to build a new 8 classroom block for primary. Drainage is an issue. But kids love puddles. They are working towards solutions though. Secondary are in the field every lunch and break as the weather allows. Primary have 3 playgrounds. The teachers are mostly very experienced. And kids do benefit from the languages and even if they don't have the language at home many will become fluent by the end. I am very happy with the quality of the education, it is a state school and it isn't well funded but they do a good job generally. It isn't perfect and needs investment but you put up with the mud for the quality bid the education. I wouldn't look at another school.
