What the college says

We offer a BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Music Performance. The BTEC music course introduces pupils to the world of music careers and a greater understanding into the music industry. The BTEC course is taught in a way where pupils are encouraged to take creative control and arm pupils with highly developed musical skill, knowledge and understanding. The course encourages and stimulates students’ achievement through practical learning and forms of assessment based on applied knowledge and understanding of the relevant subject area. BTEC courses provide considerable opportunities for teamwork and in-depth study based on specialist activities. The BTEC Level 3 Extended Certificate is equivalent to one A Level qualification. The extra-curricular music programmes available enables and supports musicianship in students of varying abilities, giving opportunities for students to experience a wide variety of genres and musical ensembles. As well as all-inclusive ensembles for mixed ability students who want the enjoyment of performing with others and developing their musical skills through our ‘School of Rock’ performance group, we also offer students the chance to audition for more advanced musical groups such as the opportunity of performing in the School Production Band (for students Grade 5+ on their instrument) or by auditioning to be a member of the cast, where the expectation is that all cast members and musicians develop performance talent and professionalism.
