Music lessons for Sandown schools
For a school this is provision without administration: we staff it, cover it, record it and bill the families directly. Sandown schools keep their timetable and lose the paperwork.
Nothing extra for your staff to run.

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.
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.
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.
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.
