“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.” National Plan for Music Education 2022

Schools should have a music development plan from academic year 2024-2025. School are expected to publish a summary of their plan on their website from academic year 2024-2025. This document sets out how Minster-in-Sheppey Primary School will deliver high-quality music provision in curriculum music, extra-curricular music and enrichment music experiences, taking into account the key features in the national plan for music education.
