SIXTH FORM SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION

All Music Scholars need to be aware that in their application they should propose how they will raise the profile of Music in the wider school community (i.e. helping to run a club and/or competitions and events with a focus on Music). They should continue to play a musical instrument at Grade V or above. As part of their application, we would be interested to know why Music is important to them personally and we would like to hear about any relevant work they have done to develop their Musical skills either at school or externally. If applying for a Single Music scholarship rather than Music being part of an All-rounder Scholarship Award, candidates are expected to be studying Music as an A level subject.
