School Music Development Plan – Support

The DfE now requires all schools to publish a School Development Plan on their school website. Music Hub staff can support you to develop your School Development Plan, to ensure that this is tailored to suit the needs of all your children, and we can offer you specialist teachers to support the ambitions outlined in your plan.

We can support you with self-evaluation, music curriculum development and assessment. To view some of the resources we have developed to support schools in these areas, see below:

• Self-evaluation toolkit for schools
• Music Curriculum Skills Progression (Early Years to Year 6)
• Pupil Assessment Model

We have some key experience in working with Multi-Academy Trusts (MAT). We support music colleagues across the MAT to develop a consistent approach to music, to improve music in their own setting through sharing best practice with colleagues, and to raise the profile of music within the MAT, bringing new performance opportunities for all students.

All local Music Services in the Hub offer Information, Advice and Guidance for schools. To access this, please go to your local area:
