The music practical exams will be taking place this year on the 2nd, 16th and 21st of March this year. The timetable for the exams is on the Music classroom wall. Pupils have been told when their exam is and emails will be send out to parents and carers in the coming days.
Each pupil should make their way to the Music department half an hour before their exam time to warm up.

Good luck to everyone sitting a practical exam this year!

Hello,
Safer Internet Day 2022 is the 8th February with the theme ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’.
From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of. Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.
See our very own PC Adair providing up to date information on how families can keep their children safe online.
