Due to the relocation of the current Head of Music, the Academy is seeking someone who is passionate about the role music plays in enriching young people’s lives.

During MYP years (7-9) students explore performance through world music, composition through film music and appraising through music history. The Music curriculum encourages independent thinking, developing creative ideas and responding to music listening. Global learning is embedded through the exploration of world-wide instruments, music artists and genres.

During Years 10-11, students may choose to study Music at GCSE level where they will be working towards fulfilling the three examined components of the WJEC Eduqas GCSE in Music.

Year 12 and 13 study the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Music Performance.

The Academy offers great facilities, including a radio station, a MAC suite, and several peripatetic rooms are available for both solo and group Music lessons on a wide range of instruments. We work with ‘Music Station’, a local group of skilled and friendly music tutors who come into the Academy during tutor and lunch times. Lessons are scheduled once a week and last for 30 minutes.
