Primary Network Meetings
We run termly network meetings which include practical ideas and activities, national updates, and networking opportunities for music leaders and teachers from Newham primary schools.

In these sessions you will:

• Understand how to support less confident colleagues in delivering music sessions
• Become up-to-date with current policy regarding music, including the curriculum review, Ofsted recommendations and how these impact on schools’ responsibilities
