There are three rounds of Trinity College music exams per year, and, on this occasion, the Music Service entered 89 students, 28 of whom passed with merit, while 61 passed with distinction.
‘I am delighted with our latest set of external examination results, which are testament to the dedication and hard work of our students, and that of the whole Music Service team,’ said Tim Wright, its head.
‘I am particularly pleased that one of our students from Le Murier has passed with such a high mark. Students from all Bailiwick schools have the opportunity to sit these internationally-recognised qualifications and it is always very encouraging for our students and our team when our work is validated in this way.’
The examinations allow students to progress through structured grades ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 8, and then through three levels of diplomas. Exams are marked out of 100, with a pass being 60%, a pass with merit being between 75% and 86%, and a pass with distinction being awarded for 87% or above.
‘These outstanding results reflect the dedication and commitment of both our students and our staff,’ said Education, Sport & Culture president Deputy Paul Montague.
‘Guernsey’s music scene is both vibrant and resilient, and the Music Service continues to play a vital role in nurturing the talent that underpins much of it.’
