At South Norwood we study music to build confidence through performance and to develop self-discipline through rehearsal and preparation. We study to gain the ability to refine and improve continuously. We foster creativity and allow for emotional expansion. We study to understand how to listen, building emotional integrity while developing a recognition of musical complexity.
Students are required to be at a Grade 5 standard in their chosen instrument. They do not have to have certification but can demonstrate musical skills at this level with experience of public performance and/or music production projects. They will have a grade 5 or above in English Language GCSE and a grade 6 or above in Music GCSE. Students may also be asked to attend an audition.
Students sit examinations in their A Level courses at the end of Year 13. All students will take internal end of year examinations at the end of year 12 to determine suitability to continue with the subject in Year 13. Students who do not meet the required pass grade in the Year 12 end of year examinations will not be permitted to progress into Year 13.
