Specialist music places
19 places within the Twyford C.E. High School Music College
are made available each year for students applying for a
place in Year 7 and with an identified natural aptitude for
music. The application process is designed to test a child’s
natural ability to hear and discriminate differences in:
• Pitch
• Rhythm
• Chords
• Melodies
As such, a child can be awarded a ‘Specialist Music’
place based on musical aptitude, irrespective of any prior
instrumental or vocal tuition.
How to apply:
Waiting lists
Foundation places
In order to restrict numbers to the maximum admission
number, 150 places will be offered to candidates with the
highest priority in accordance with the admissions criteria.
Then all candidates below this level will be listed in order of
priority for a waiting list drawn up in accordance with the
admissions criteria.
World faith places
In order to restrict numbers to the maximum admission number,
21 places will be offered to candidates with the highest priority
in accordance with the admissions criteria. Then all candidates
below this level will be listed in order of priority for a waiting list
in accordance with the admissions criteria.
If vacancies occur before appeals, these lists will be used to
offer places.
The length of time on the waiting list does not influence
admissions decisions.
Sixth form admissions
Applications for sixth form are made directly to the school. Please
visit the school website for the sixth form admissions policy:
www.twyford.ealing.sch.uk/attending-our-school/admissions
1. Complete the Specialist Music scholar admissions
application form available electronically on the school
website by 29 September 2017. Applicants are reminded
that they must also complete the Pan London Common
Application Form which should be returned to their Local
Authority. Please do not enclose any music proficiency
certificates as previous musical experience is not relevant
to the application process.
2. All applicants will be invited to attend Round One on one
of the two stated dates:
5 October 2017 (5-6pm) or 6 October 2017 (4-5pm)
3. Your child’s score will be issued together with news as to
whether they have been invited to attend Round Two of
the process on one of the two stated dates: 13 and 14
October 2017.
4. Your child’s Round Two score will then be added to their
Round One score and a list of final results, in descending
order, will be compiled. Those ranked in places 1-19 will
be notified on National Offer Day (early March) that they
have been offered a music place (provided they have not
received a higher preference offer).
5. Other applicants will be placed on a waiting list, ranked
according to their score. If a place becomes available it will
be offered to the applicant who is highest on the waiting
list. In the case of a tie on score, those students living
nearer the school as the crow flies will be given priority.
6. Those not successful in obtaining a place will still be
eligible to apply for a Foundation or World Faith place by
using the appropriate supplementary information form.
