Services for schools

School Music Development Plans

The National Plan for Music Education, supported by DfE, recommends that all schools have a Music Development Plan in place, that sets out how the school will deliver high-quality music provision for all pupils. More details and a link to our self-evaluation can be found on our School Development Plan page.
