Music Education Hubs in England are a resource to help support all schools in their local area. The Tri-borough Music Hub aims to have an active and positive relationship with every school in the three Local Authorities. We have prepared the following documents to help support all schools with planning, preparing and delivering their music education curriculum.

Model Music Curriculum - Overview – Teaching Music in Schools
download PDF version HERE; or Word version HERE

The information in this overview has been extracted from the Model Music Curriculum: Key Stages 1 to 3, released in March 2021. It also provides some further information which is intended to support schools in curating a relevant and effective music education curriculum that best serves the needs of their pupils and school community. In addition, schools should refer to Ofsted’s detailed ‘Research review series: music’ (published 12^th July 2021) for further depth to curriculum planning. This overview aims to help music leaders in Hammersmith & Fulham; Kensington & Chelsea; and Westminster to easily see the musical progression outlined in the MMC and how linking with the Tri-borough Music Hub may help support in-school music education delivery. With thanks to Sutton Music Service for their support with this document.
