Every department faces ever-increasing administrative responsibilities and the need to produce detailed documentation to show how it functions and provide evidence of:

Revised to fit the National Curriculum, this essential publication helps any head of Music:

• save time
• produce better documentation

• improve the efficiency of curricular delivery.

Step-by-step guidance

In addition to explanatory material, there are information sheets for governors, staff, pupils and parents plus a wealth of blank forms, checklists and grids for completion, distribution and display.
