Increased confidence and belonging

An increased excitement for school
Having something to look forward to each week can change the dynamic of school - motivating children to attend and engage.
A driver of wider learning
The improved concentration and stronger social skills built in band lessons boost academic achievement across the curriculum.
Bridging the gap between parents and schools
Bringing parents, teachers and pupils together for termly concerts offers a meaningful opportunity for the whole school community to connect.
A stronger start to secondary
Bonds formed through shared musical interests, growing confidence and resilience all support a more successful transition to secondary school.
