At Key Stage 3, music is taught in accordance
with the National Curriculum. Our schemes of
work help students gain confidence in
performing and in making up original pieces.
Good listening and critical skills are
developed alongside these activities.
The department has
two well equipped classrooms, a dedicated
music I.C.T room and several practice rooms.
The instrument stock is of high quality, and
there are a number of instruments of
professional orchestral standard.
There are
opportunities for music making outside
timetabled lessons, and we have a choir, wind
band and many small groups of players who
write and play for pleasure. We have a number
of specialist visitors who also run activities
for extra curricular music. Students have
performed in public concerts and in the
Redbridge Show 2002.
Music is an option subject at GCSE and A
Level, and we follow the course set out by the
OCR Examining Board. Through these courses
students develop a very good awareness of
specific styles which span a wide range of
cultures and periods in history, including pop
music. The coursework tasks demand further
sensitive performances and composition of
materials of the students’ choice within wide
parameters. Music is a successful subject and
exam pass rates are very good.
