D. Applications to other Schools

If your son is auditioning for music awards at other schools, please list below all the schools (including Eton) in order of preference. It is essential that ALL schools are shown in order of preference on this form, and that the order is the same on the application forms sent to the other schools. This will be verified and, in the event that the order differs between schools or a school has been omitted, we reserve the right to reject your son’s application. If Eton is your only choice, write “none” in the other spaces.

If your son has already accepted a music award of any kind at another senior school, he cannot attempt our Music Awards examinations without the written permission of that school.

First choice school

Second choice school Third choice school

Below are the relevant sections of the MTA Code of Practice as published in the Music Teachers’ Association Music Directory. A list of all the schools who have signed up to the Code will shortly be available on their website https://www.musicteachers.org/directory-schools/. ● Parents wishing to apply to more than one school should place the schools in order of preference. Once the application has been submitted this may not be altered. This order must be identical on the application form for each school and include all schools to which parents are applying, even if an individual school has not signed-up to the code. ●Application forms must be signed by the Head and Director of Music of the present school. The present school (not the parent) will then send copies of the application form (together with the confidential references) to each school at which a music scholarship is being sought. ●No school will make offers or intimations of awards before the auditions. Results of the auditions are announced promptly following the trials by the school of first choice. ●When applications are made to more than one school, the second choice school should wait to hear from the first choice school whether or not an offer is being made. If it is, then the second choice school should not make an offer. If the first choice school is not going to make an offer, then the second choice school is able to make an offer if they wish. An identical procedure follows for the school of third choice. ●Awards accepted verbally must be confirmed in writing and must be taken up in the following academic year.
