Students can choose to study Music at A-level, which explores the subject through performing, composing and analysing music. The course involves the in-depth study of a series of ‘set works’, which provide a comprehensive and fascinating overview of music from the Baroque era, to the modern day. The varied nature of the course enables students to develop highly desirable skills in areas such as self-management, creativity, data analysis, performance, teamwork, problem-solving, and communication, all of which makes them an attractive prospect for potential employers and provides a fantastic basis for study of most subjects at university. Students continue to have the opportunity to be involved in the exceptional co-curricular opportunities at AKS throughout their time in the Sixth Form, and often take leading roles in our ensembles, as well as being featured as soloists in our exciting series of concerts and events.
Year 11 students transfer automatically into the Sixth Form, provided that they have gained at least five subjects at grade 6 and above, including English Language and mathematics, and with no less than a grade 6 (ideally a 7, 8 or 9 grade) in the subjects, or related, with which they wish to continue at A level. In addition, the student’s record of conduct and attitude must meet the appropriately high expectations of the school’s Sixth Form
