The Music Department at Thetford Grammar School is at the heart of the school community. The Department takes an active part in the very busy musical life of the school, performing in many concerts and events in the local area. We have a team of highly experienced visiting teachers and operate as a centre for Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music practical and theory exams. Music GCSE can be taken in the options blocks or as a twilight subject. Music is seen by employers and universities as a subject that fosters a number of valuable skills: teamwork and communication, self-motivation, discipline and creative thinking to name but a few. Music GCSE is considered an interesting subject to see on a job or university application. If you wish to specialise, the music business is one of the biggest in the UK, with a wide range of opportunities. You may wish to take the study of Music further to A level or beyond and Music GCSE is a good preparation. Specialist jobs include Music Therapy, Teaching, Production Promotion, Recording Engineer, Composer, Publisher, Music Management and Performance.
Entry to Year 12 is dependent on performance in the GCSE examinations. To follow a full programme of A Level AS and A2 study, good passes (grade 5 and above) are required in five subjects at GCSE, with a recommendation of at least a grade 6 in those subjects that students wish to study.
