READY STEADY GO!!! Start of the Autumn Term 2024. Feeling pretty privileged and motivated to be working with such talented young musicians as a private Music Educator. Very pleased with the 2024 results despite all the grumbling elsewhere. Final figures 100% high grades for A level and 88% for GCSE outperforming National Averages by a long margin.
