The Music curriculum content at KS3 is based upon the 3 core inter-related strands of Performing, Composing and Listening & Appraising, which directly develops and prepares the pupils for further study at KS4. 

In KS4 we follow the examination boards specifications. Skills that are common to all components are taught progressively throughout the year, scaffolding concepts as appropriate. Key components are addressed according to the exam boards timetables of assessment.  

Music offers both Eduqas Music GCSE and NCFE Music and Technology in order to provide a broad range of qualifications for multiple future careers. 

Exam boards are chosen on their appropriateness for our cohorts as well as their rigour.
