Tri-borough Music Hub Guidance for Schools to ensure a ‘broad and balanced curriculum’

This document is intended for Headteachers, Senior Leadership Teams and Music Leaders.

It contains information and guidance for schools in the Tri-borough Area about:-

• Writing a School Music Policy; and
• Using the Self Evaluation Tool for Music in Schools.

The Self-evaluation Tool will yield one of three outcomes:-

Bronze: What is expected of all schools

Silver: What might be achieved by a pro-active, initiative driven Music Leader in school, working largely independently

Gold: What schools can achieve when music is embedded in the ethos and values of the school, from Governors to SLT to classroom practitioners

It will therefore serve as a useful starting point for schools looking to assess, enhance and develop their music provision.

It is available in both PDF and Word formats below.
