Music surrounds us in our everyday lives and can translate feelings and desires that are sometimes difficult to express using spoken or written language – it truly is a universal language, and one that the study of music at an academic level aims to understand. At GCSE, pupils develop their skills in three areas of Music: performing, composing and appraising. We study a very wide variety of works ranging from art song from the seventeenth century through to musical theatre still on the stage today. Pupils will perform on their instrument or as a singer, and also compose their own pieces of music. Music is hugely enjoyed by the pupils who opt to study it at Repton, who enjoy the benefits of specialist staff, state-of-the-art resources, and small class sizes. Advanced musicians have the option of starting the GCSE course in the B Block year, and following an accelerated course, taking the GCSE a year early at the end of A Block.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
