"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." @lisanandy
We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to address and reverse years of decline.

I couldn’t agree more and music is a part of all this. Let’s hope the PM can deliver this for our young. If there are State Schools (my grandson is in one in S London) which properly deliver The Arts, why not all? It’s not even aspirational, it’s surely mandatory.

Delighted to top The Times' league table for A-level results.
Congratulations to our students and staff for their hard work in making this possible.

Doesn't make for the most riveting tweet/X, but interesting to see where A-level music entries are from (attached)
Congratulations to my husband @TimothyBateup and all the staff @kingsmathschool on an amazing set of results!

All schools (including academies) required to follow the national curriculum - this means ALL schools must teach music. It’s a no-brainer, of course, but worth celebrating nonetheless. schoolsweek.co.uk/labour-edu…

If you're planning for the new Year 7 intake in September, are you focusing on the right kind of knowledge? Being unable to verbally declare that 'there are two quavers in a crotchet' and that 'this is called a treble clef' does not define a new pupil's 'musical knowledge'.
This week's #ResearchShorts focuses on supporting secondary schools delivering music education 📣
Mark Phillips' research dives into assessing Year 7 pupils’ prior knowledge as they enter into Secondary, observing teaching and learning 🎶

ALT Text: “Pupils will all have some knowledge of music in their ears and inner voices. Because pupils may not be able to declare it verbally doesn’t mean they have no musical knowledge or that they don’t ‘like’ music. It’s just that we may not be looking for the right kind of musical knowledge in the right places.” -Mark Phillips, Music Education Researcher. Text bottom right reads 'Research Shorts'.

A reminder. The ambition of the National Curriculum isn't simply giving opportunities to play, sing, compose & listen. It's about gradually improving technically, building knowledge of how music works, & becoming more sophisticated expressively from Years 1-9. It's a long game.
My first cohort to go all the way through from Year 7-13!
An amazing group of people- I couldn’t be prouder of all you’ve achieved and how you’ve grown in confidence and musicality over the last seven years.

Congratulations to our Senior Chamber Choir on their win last night.
As we won in 2022, I decided to give them the challenge of two double choir pieces for this competition- and they nailed it!
Super proud 🥹
