Every year Kent Music offers all schools in Kent the chance to access Funded Opportunities to support music education. From memberships to ensemble leaders and WCIT, there are lots of options for schools. One unique opportunity which Kent Music provide is Bespoke Support, an opportunity to work with a member of the Kent Music team to drive the development of music in your school.

This month we chatted to Emma Higgins, music lead at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School in Northfleet. Emma was subject to an Ofsted deep dive in music this year. We took the opportunity to quiz her about her experience in order to inform and guide us when carrying out Music Health Checks. Some schools have requested these in order to ensure they are fully prepared should they receive ‘The Call’.
