Department information

The music curriculum offered at Tudor Grange Academy Worcester is inspiring, challenging and fully inclusive; we are supportive, proactive and dedicated to ensuring that every child fulfils their musical potential. Music is a popular subject at our school; we currently have 100 students studying GCSE Music (Eduqas), as well a sixth form offering of A Level Music and RockSchool.

We offer an extensive extracurricular programme, including several choirs, bands and an orchestra. Students are given numerous performance opportunities throughout the academic year at regular music concerts, as well as being invited on music tours and trips. We have a team of ten peripatetic teachers who offer a range of instrumental and vocal tuition to our students, and have a variety of instruments we can provide for students who wish to begin these lessons.  We are also lucky to have a private benefactor who financially supports music.

Within our new-build school the Music department has dedicated specialist teaching spaces.  Each classroom has an i-desk, an integrated sound system and class sets of keyboards and ukuleles, as well as, a selection of percussion instruments.  We also have a dedicated Mac suite, plus a further three practice rooms. In addition we have a purpose built recording studio, live room and a 250 seat theatre with Yamaha grand piano. 

All schemes of work are fully resourced in centralised electronic folders, with a shared commitment to delivering clear objectives in each half term for each year group. We work collaboratively with the ten other schools within the Tudor Grange Trust to share expertise, resources and opportunities. 

Across the broader Performing Arts we work closely with the drama department to produce two shows each year, recent performances include Hairspray, We Will Rock You and Our House.  We also run the Arts Award programme between Music, Art and Drama.

Our outstanding Lead Teacher of Music here in Worcester is Kate Harper, who also oversees secondary and primary music education for the wider Trust. You can contact Kate via kharper@worcs.tgacademy.org.uk if you would like further information or would like to arrange a visit.

About Tudor Grange Academy Worcester

Tudor Grange Academy has quickly developeded a reputation as a school that is truly in the community. We opened on September 1st 2009 and with the support of the outstanding sponsor school Tudor Grange School, Solihull, we have made great strides forward.

The ethos of the Academy is built around a set of core values:

  • Meeting the needs of every student
  • Quality in all that we do
  • Raising horizons
  • Blending tradition and innovation
  • The whole is greater than the parts
  • Inclusive and collaborative


The Academy provides a broad, balanced, innovative and motivating curriculum, individually tailored to the needs of each student.  We are always outward-facing, because learning in the home and the community is as important as learning in the classroom and because we want our students to be active members of their local, national and international communities.

We know that everyone is different & whatever their flair or talent, we prioritise developing their aspirations through new experiences.  We dedicate an afternoon a week for most students to pursue new experiences or access the time, people and resources they need to be able to excel in their chosen field through our skills, action and service curriculum.

The students at the Academy are constantly stretched with problem-solving tasks demanding higher-order thinking and new applications of prior learning.  Though we feel that the students need to be aware of the individual disciplines of subjects we are careful to organise our curriculum so that they are able to recognise links between their learning and see the relevance of the skills they are developing in real-life contexts.

Central to the Academy is the college structure which has a focus on building a culture of success where achievement is highly valued, celebrated and rewarded.  The five college structure allows us to create `schools within the school' so that students really feel that they are a part of their learning community and so that we are alert to and able to respond to the ever-changing needs of every individual in the Academy.
