Music in Key Stage 2.

We are delighted to again welcome Vicky Barnes-Moffat to our school this year. As part of the “Wider Opportunities” programme offered by the Gloucestershire Music Service, Vicky will be providing ten weeks singing teaching to the Key Stage 2 class. This will result in a concert to be performed to parents at school during the last afternoon session on Monday 7th December. More information to follow.
