The National Plan for Music Education | The Secondary Music Teaching Series
Prepare your school for the new English National Plan for Music Education, with this instalment of the Secondary Music Teaching Series. The session is lead by Jenetta Hurst.
How ready are you for the National Plan for Music Education’s recommendations? Have you published your Music Development Plan to your school’s website? How closely are you working with parents, guardians and your local Music Hub to deliver a broad and balanced musical programme? Share your questions with us in advance and leave with strategies to ensure you are meeting the needs of all learners.
As we get ready for the changes in the government have you considered what is needed to take your department to the next level? Have you identified areas for development and immediate priorities?
School Music Departments should develop an informed understanding of the musical progression of their pupils, including their level of progress as instrumentalists and singers, monitoring their progress from foundation, to intermediate and advanced.

Music is a cornerstone of the broad and balanced education that every child should receive. It touches hearts and minds, it celebrates and challenges, and it connects us and moves us. In the same way that we teach children literacy and numeracy to prepare them for adult life, we must also give them the musical tools they need for a lifetime of music-making and enjoyment.
