In-school music lessons across Sandown

We staff it, cover it and record it. Your school keeps its timetable.

We work with Sandown schools so that learning an instrument happens at school, like everything else a child learns.

The national school register files Sandown's schools under the towns around it rather than under Sandown itself, so the Newport and Ryde pages are the ones that carry them. What runs in a school here is decided the same way it is anywhere else: by the school.

Teachers, instruments and cover

We staff the lessons and cover them when somebody is ill. Your school does not find a replacement.

Inside the school day

A room and a rotating slot. Groups of one to twenty-one, in term time, so the same subject is never missed twice.

Safeguarding and records held by us

Checks, registers, practice notes and evidence, kept by us and available to your team whenever you ask.

Two payers, and never both

A place is funded by the school or paid for by the family, never part of each. Many schools fund a set number of places and the other families pay. Which applies depends on the school, not on who asks first.

September, the big intake

This week in Sandown

The September intake at a school here and across Sandown is where most musical lives start, usually on guitar.

THE REGISTER

Schools in Sandown

The national school register files Sandown's schools under the towns around it rather than under Sandown itself, so the Newport and Ryde pages are the ones that carry them. What runs in a school here is decided the same way it is anywhere else: by the school.

Name the school anyway. Which town it is filed under makes no difference to whether the service can run in it.

KEYS. STRINGS. RHYTHM. VOICE.

What we would teach in Sandown

A school agrees its own provision with us. These are the instruments our teachers already carry into schools in this part of the county.

  • Piano

  • Guitar

  • Drums

  • Singing

  • Ukulele

Groups of one to twenty-one, so a child can start alongside their friends or on their own, and move between the two as they get better.

ONE CLEAR NEXT STEP

From a first conversation to music in a Sandown school.

  1. One conversation

    You name the school. We find out what is already running there, what the funding allows, and what we could put on next term.

  2. A room and a slot

    You give us a room and a rotating slot. Nothing else on your timetable changes, and the rotation is what stops one subject losing out.

  3. We staff it and we cover it

    Our teachers arrive, teach in groups of one to twenty-one, and we send cover when somebody is ill. Your office is not asked to find anybody.

  4. The records come back to you

    Registers, practice notes and safeguarding evidence, held by us and open to your team. We bill families directly; you keep the relationship.

THE SAME ROUND

Near Sandown

Our teachers travel a fixed weekly round, which is what makes cover possible when somebody is ill. These are the places on the same one.

WHO PAYS, AND WHEN

Who pays for a place

A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Sandown depends on that school and its funding, not on who asks first. Ask and we will tell you what is available at yours.

  • Funded places available

    A school funds a number of places, so those children pay nothing. How many depends on the school and its funding.

  • Family-paid places

    A flat monthly plan, the same every month, with missed lessons made up rather than refunded.

A page each, written for the question rather than for the search. The same service, answered the way a different reader would ask about it.

ONE CONVERSATION

Put your Sandown school forward

Name the school and we will find out what is possible there. It costs you a sentence, and it is how most of our partnerships began.
