Music Mark

A school Music Review consists of an initial school engagement meeting with your regional team, published School Music Development Plan, the use of our comprehensive School Music Self Evaluation tool, Building a high-quality music education (hertsmusicservice.org.uk), and a further discussion with the Head of Participation and School Music to look at areas for development and actions.

The audit tool is a questionnaire covering all aspects of school music and providing a snapshot of where music is now in your school. It can be a useful baseline for a subject leader to work from, or a record of work in progress. It can be updated periodically to demonstrate progress.

Participation in this process can lead to an invitation to the Music Mark schools programme giving schools access to a range of tailored benefits.
