This session is suitable for specialists and non-specialists alike and aims to build your knowledge and confidence in successfully leading music in your school and developing yourself as a practitioner and leader.
The session will provide you with the tools to reflect on your current role and your next steps, particularly focussing on the latest guidelines set out in the new national plan for music education for SEND, early years and curriculum.
