Music Development Plan Summary

At Parkfield Primary School, we are committed to fostering a love for music and ensuring every child has the opportunity to develop their musical talents. As outlined in the National Plan for Music Education, all schools are encouraged to develop and publish a Music Development Plan. This plan outlines our vision, priorities, and goals for music education, ensuring it remains an integral part of our curriculum and school life.

The purpose of publishing a Music Development Plan summary on our website is to:

• Raise awareness: Share our commitment to high-quality music education with our school community.

• Promote opportunities: Showcase our music offer to parents and prospective families, highlighting how music enriches learning at Parkfield.

• Strengthen collaboration: Work closely with local music hubs to enhance our music provision.

Our Music Development Plan summary will be updated annually before the start of each academic year to reflect our progress, new initiatives, and any adaptations we’ve made to better serve our Parkfielders. This summary has been designed using guidance from the Department for Education.

We believe that music has the power to inspire, unite, and enrich the lives of our pupils, and we are excited to share our journey through our Music Development Plan.
