Select from the following options:
School Music Development Plan
The New National Plan for Music Education states that schools should write ‘a Music Development Plan that captures the curricular and co-curricular offer and set outs how it will be funded.’ Click here for some guidance and tools to support you to write your School Music Development Plan

Curriculum support and CPD
Are you looking to review your school’s music curriculum? Need advice on suitable resources? Or, need to improve your ukulele skills?
We work with headteachers, music subject leaders or small teams, whatever fits best with individual school music development plans to improve confidence in music delivery.
