Music Develpment Plan

Our music development plan outlines how we teach music, aiming to ensure all pupils have opportunities to learn and enjoy music, often including curriculum, co-curricular activities, and musical experiences, and is funded by the Department for Education.

Here's an overview for parents:

What it is:

• A plan for music education:
  Schools create a music development plan to show how they teach music to all students.
• Covers different areas:
  This plan includes how music is taught in the regular curriculum (like music lessons), extracurricular activities (like choirs or bands), and special musical experiences (like concerts or performances).
• Focuses on all students:
  The plan aims to make sure every child has the chance to learn, sing, play instruments, and create music.
• Published for parents:
  Schools are encouraged to share a summary of their plan on their website to help parents understand the music program.

How it's funded:

• Funding from the government:
  The Department for Education provides funding to support music education in schools.
• Ring-fenced funding:
  This funding is specifically for music education and cannot be used for other things.

What to expect:

• Music lessons:
  Students will have regular music lessons as part of the curriculum.
• Co-curricular activities:
  There may be opportunities to participate in music outside of regular lessons, such as choirs, bands, or instrumental groups.
• Musical experiences:
  Live performances, concerts, and other events that allow students to experience and appreciate music.
• Progression:
  The plan should outline how students' musical skills and knowledge will develop over time.
• Support for all:
  Schools should ensure that all students, including those with special needs, have access to music education.
