Leading from the Front

abcd has a long track record of working with schools, teachers and students of all ages. As a Sing Up Flagship organisation working with the Music Manifesto National Singing Programme, we ran our Leading from the Front projects for Sing Up in Lancashire, Essex, Cornwall and Warwickshire. The project aims to improve the skills and confidence of those leading singing in schools and so enhance provision of quality singing in primary schools. It combines CPD days, mentoring teachers in their own schools, and working with the whole school to develop the singing activities in their schools and the wider community.

Foundation Course

abcd's Foundation Course is aimed specifically teachers and teaching assistants (TAs / LSAs) in primary schools (KS1 and KS2) who are responsible for leading singing. The programme is intended to reach as many parts of the school community as possible, encouraging teachers to share their development and tools gained with their colleagues and open up singing activities across the school.

The course consists of four CPD sessions over an extended period, with one-on-one mentoring sessions in between.

The course can be run in one school, or a cluster of schools. For further information, contact Rachel Greaves, General Secretary.
