Exam Exhaustion

Well, its been a frantic exam year. 3 grade 7 with merit, 2 grade 8 with distinction and an ABRSM diploma, all under 18 years old, the youngest only 12 years old passing grade 8. Countless little one passing grades 1-5, of course and lots of proud parents. Those with grade 6 and above count their passes toward UCAS university points. 3 used violin for their DOE awards and 5 for GCSE music. It was interesting to compare the popularity of the on line video exam against the live sitting, pros and cons, the absence of scales being quite attractive to some youngsters(!)

Anyway, hearty congratulations to all students for their dilligence, especially during heatwaves, when they could have been relaxing on the beach.
