Is music taught as an academic subject?

Yes. The Music School enjoys a thriving academic life. Music is taught as a class subject to all pupils in the Fourth Form and keen practical musicians are encouraged to extend their understanding by continuing the subject at GCSE and AS/A2 Level, with some going on to study music at universities or conservatoires. Music Technology is now also offered at Advanced Level.
There are further opportunities for developing musicological interests, including the academic music forum “Camerata”, and in the wide range of professional performances which form the Concert Series.
