Unlike most other Sixth Forms, we have no minimum entry requirement at Chetham’s; you are here based on your musical ability. However, if you do not achieve at least a Grade 4 in English Language and Maths in Year 11 then you should re-take the GCSE in Year 12 as these are essential qualifications for future employment.
