Expressive Arts in LPS - Spring Term Monitoring

During our Spring Term LPS Review Fortnight, members of the Creative Crew and the AoLE leader carried out a pupil questionnaire, spoke to learners, spoke to staff, looked at creative journals and undertook a website scrutiny. 

The AoLE leader successfully delivered Charanga training to all teaching staff, ensuring that colleagues were well‑equipped to incorporate the resource into their classroom practice. The session was engaging and well received, with staff demonstrating enthusiasm and confidence in exploring the programme’s features. Clear expectations were set regarding the timeline for implementing Charanga music lessons, and all staff met the agreed deadline, reflecting a strong collective commitment to enhancing our music provision. Feedback gathered through PVG meetings and ADD discussions was consistently positive, highlighting both the quality of the training and the growing confidence of staff in delivering Charanga‑based musical learning experiences. Although Charanga is still in the early stages of implementation within the school, initial outcomes have been encouraging. We anticipate that continued use over the summer term will lead to further progression, deeper musical understanding among learners, and a more embedded approach to music within our curriculum.
