Sitting at my desk for a second week my ears filled with music. This time I can only thank @NMPATrust and our Private Instrumental Staff for teaching over 200 pupils this week and filling the corridors with wonderful sounds....Miss Coles wins the prize though...Jingle Bells!!!

Sitting at my desk working out ensemble lists, timetables, intervention and support for all our pupils and I can hear Egyptian Drumming emanating from C5, a whole Year 7 class enjoying practical music making. Perhaps we are on the right path? These are our first steps!!
