<p>The Isles of Scilly was the only local authority with fewer than 10 pupils at the
end of key stage 4[1] entering GCSE music in its state funded schools in 2017/18,
with 2 pupils (of a cohort of 124 pupils). Note that this represents just one school.</p><p>
</p><p>Pupils are required to study music through key stage 1-3. The department's
published information at key stage 4 is based on exam entries by pupils, rather than
number of pupils studying a subject.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>[1] Pupils
are identified as being at the end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school
and in year 11 at the time of the January school census for that year. Age is calculated
as at 31 August for that year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage
4 were age 15 at the start of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key
stage in an earlier or later year group.</p>
