Training and Events

The Special School Autumn network will focus on the strength of planning the music curriculum and music lessons. Music teachers Chelsey Bamford and Roberta Bray, both based in Lincolnshire, will be sharing their thoughts and expertise around this area, which will be followed by space for us to discuss and develop our understanding.

Chelsey will explore how a bespoke, inclusive curriculum, learner-led approaches, adaptive teaching and purposeful resourcing can empower every learner. Together we will think about how we can use music as a gateway to engagement and success. Chelsey is a Music and Performing Arts Lead at a Special School in Lincolnshire and is a Lead School for Lincolnshire Music.

Roberta Bray will delve into the planning of curriculum lessons, looking at what makes a strong music lesson and focussing on the arc of the learning journey. Roberta is an experienced Special School Music Teacher and is currently delivering the Music Inclusion Specialist with Uprising 360.
