What you will study
You complete a set of mandatory units and choose optional units from the Music Performance list, developing your craft across the two years. Work is based in the Music Centre, with:
- a suite of MacBooks running Logic Pro X and GarageBand
- keyboards, guitars, bass and percussion
- space to rehearse, perform and produce
How it is assessed
Assessment is portfolio-based. You build a body of performance and production work across the mandatory and optional units rather than sitting a final examination.
Where it leads
The course opens routes to BA degrees in Music, Music Business and Music for Media, and to careers across performance, production and the wider music industry. It sits alongside two further Level 3 courses and the EPQ, and ambitious applicants can draw on the Top Universities Programme. New students can read more on the Sixth Form Welcome page, and Kingsley Online with Greene's Tutorial College, Oxford adds up to 44 further A-Levels.
How to apply
Entry follows the school's standard Sixth Form entry requirements. Come and see the Music Centre for yourself and talk to the department about your goals.
