St Albans Tea and Symphony network is a an opportunity for all St Albans schools to receive free support and CPD training for everyone in school, from the head teacher to the music coordinator to class teachers to support staff.
We hold network meetings once per half term, with the opportunity to meet and share practice with each other. The meetings are tailored to your needs - we shape the programme based on feedback and cover areas that are suggested by members. We have a strong sharing approach, and members are encouraged to share tips with each other, try things out and feedback and just have the opportunity to chat and offload!
We particularly welcome those new to coordinating music, and those who would like to develop skills in supporting others within school.
We also run a buddy system where you can team up with another, like-minded practitioner from another school, to share ideas, try things out and reflect together.
We also tailor our sessions to support your deep dive inspection, so your school is fully prepared for a music subject-specific visit.

Charanga & Sing Up support materials
All Hertfordshire schools with an SLA have access to both Charanga and Sing Up for free this academic year. Charanga can be used as a full Scheme of Work for Reception to Key Stage 2, or as a bank of resources to supplement your own scheme of work. Sing Up contains hundreds of lovely, age appropriate songs with lesson plans and support materials linked. The resources are designed to be accessible for both specialist and non-specialist class teachers.
If your school wishes to have access to these resources, please email us from your school email account:
