6. Long Term Planning Documents
At Nailsworth C of E Primary School, we follow a commercial resource for all our Music planning (Charanga - link here https://charanga.com/site/musical-school/). Our teachers use these schemes of work as the basis of our planning and then amend as necessary to meet the needs of their class. We are therefore unable to share any of these planning documents on our website for parents/carers to look at as we do not have the rights to re-distribute. If you are interested in finding out more about our Music curriculum beyond what we have included on this page, please speak to our Music leader - Mrs Hynes
