Schools
Schools have several options when it comes to music learning opportunities across Gateshead and South Tyneside. They can work with the music services and can also work with our partner organisations depending on the needs of the school...
School Music Key Features
Based on the DfE’s publication, The power of music to change lives - a National Plan for Music Education June 2022, here are some recommendations for high-quality school music provision.
Every school should be able to articulate their plan for delivering high-quality music education and the Music Hub is here to support you.
Please contact our hub lead robkitchen@gateshead.gov.uk or our deputy manager paulinebrandon@gateshead.gov.uk if you would like any advice.
This video offers insights and expectations from Ofsted on the design, planning and delivery of music in schools.
