previous inspection, and some elements are outstanding."

while enjoying school life harmoniously"

In 2010 as part of the subject survey inspection programme Strand also had a Music Inspection. Our music provision was judged to be good in all areas. The report said many great things about our Music provision including recognising the very high standards our children achieve.

“By the end of Year 6, pupils’ attainment is above average and in some aspects, for example, in performing on African drums, it is outstanding. Pupils sing accurately and confidently with clear diction and well-projected tone quality, both in unison and in parts. All pupils in Year 3 Take part in whole-class instrumental lessons, which complement their learning in other music lessons. “
