The Academic Music Department at the Purcell School offers a unique programme of study, which forms an important part of every student’s specialist musical education.

In Years 7 to 9, students study a series of topics which form the basis of creative and analytical projects, designed to expand their general musical knowledge and inform their practical studies. In Year 10, students follow the AQA GCSE music syllabus and in Year 11, they prepare for Sixth Form study through an in-depth study of larger scale works.
