Music Development Plan support

Does your school need support with its' Music Development Plan?

In May 2024 the DfE published updates to its guidance on what schools should publish on their websites, including providing a summary of their Music Development Plan (MDP). These plans were first mentioned in the National Plan for Music Education (NPME), non-statutory guidance published in summer 2022. From September 2024, schools will be 'expected' to publish a summary of their MDP on their website. 

Need support? Inspire Music can help. Our Music Development Plan Conversation Tool helps schools capture what is happening musically in school, which can form the basis of their MDP.  For a  free consultation on MDPs,  please email us c/o  nottsmusichub@inspireculture.org.uk
