Head Girl Ella (Year 11) and younger sister Ava (Year 8) have each worked incredibly hard to prepare for this very challenging exam. Grade 7 is the performance standard most commonly expected of students at the end of their AS Level Music study (Year 12); both girls are working well beyond expectations, securing high marks in all areas of the exam, both achieving a Merit grading overall. Grade 7 is the penultimate grade available within the ABRSM internationally recognised exam syllabus. A fantastic achievement; Congratulations Ella and Ava!
