Prospective students for St Mary’s Music School are invited to the school’s open day on 8 October 2016.
St Mary’s takes pupils from all over Scotland and abroad following an entrance process based on audition and assessment, musical ability and potential. Financial circumstances are irrelevant since there is up to 100 per cent funding available from The Scottish Government through the Aided Places Scheme. This funding can be used for tuition and boarding fees, and Cathedral and school bursaries are also available.
At the moment there are 80 pupils at the school of whom 32 are boarders.
The music school is the choir school of St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral, the only place in Scotland to offer such education.
There is also an academic element to the school and potential pupils can audition throughout the year.
And on 8 October 2016 there is an Open Day for pupils, parents and teachers to go along in the afternoon between 2.30 and 5pm, to Coates Hall on Grosvenor Crescent to find out more about the places in the school.
