Music Scholarships

We are delighted to offer 23 Music Scholarship places to Year 7 students joining us each September.

These scholarships offer a way for students to secure a place at our school, and receive many extra benefits by demonstrating that they have a musical skill and lots of musical potential.

We value music education and want to encourage musical young people. We know that musical opportunities are not always easy to find, so aim to create them for you. We understand that the whole school community benefits when musical people choose our school.

Music scholars receive all the benefits of being a pupil at our school, plus the following additional benefits:

“

2x free instrumental/ vocal lessons per week (if you don’t already play the piano, one of these will probably be a piano lesson)

Your music exam fees will be paid

PUPIL

Student Voice

We believe that students play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Hethersett Academy. Students from all years take part in setting the agenda for the school, with leadership opportunities built into a structure that mirrors the staff leadership structure.

Student Council

Students wishing to join the Student Council are encouraged to put their name forward to a lottery to be selected at random. The selected candidates are then put to a vote by the current student body, to decide the chosen members. This process ensures that everyone has an equal opportunity.

Members of the Student Council are held to high standards by the student body, with 100% attendance expected at Student Council meetings, and to be a responsible student who others respect, and to work to make the school a better place for all.

The opportunity includes working as part of a team, representing peers, developing listening skills, improving self-confidence and public speaking, and leading on putting these ideas into action.

Student Senate

The Student Senate are the student body that meets with the Principal to present ideas and opinions from their peers. Student Council members who wish to serve on the Senate put forward why they should be selected, and are voted for by the whole student cohort, and staff.
