And great to have Harry the Piano playing with our students 🙂

Excited to be out for the evening for @STAHS first jazz night!

"We are reviewing the curriculum to put arts and music back at the heart of the national curriculum where it belongs." @lisanandy

We welcome the Culture Secretary's commitment to arts education. Meaningful reform is urgently needed to address and reverse years of decline.

[David Hill @davidhconductor]

I couldn’t agree more and music is a part of all this. Let’s hope the PM can deliver this for our young. If there are State Schools (my grandson is in one in S London) which properly deliver The Arts, why not all? It’s not even aspirational, it’s surely mandatory.

[King's Maths School @kingsmathschool]

Delighted to top The Times' league table for A-level results.

Congratulations to our students and staff for their hard work in making this possible.

Doesn't make for the most riveting tweet/X, but interesting to see where A-level music entries are from (attached)

[Emma Price @ECPrice222]

Congratulations to my husband @TimothyBateup and all the staff @kingsmathschool on an amazing set of results!

[King's Maths School @kingsmathschool]

Congrats to the Class of 2024 for their superb A level results. Across Maths, Further Maths & Physics A Levels, students achieved a record-breaking 76% A*, 97.6% A*-A and 99.5% A*-B grades.

One student even achieved the top mark in Further Maths nationally!

So proud.

[David Ross @sgtoyne]

All schools (including academies) required to follow the national curriculum - this means ALL schools must teach music. It’s a no-brainer, of course, but worth celebrating nonetheless. https://t.co/Vm6MRRvPWk

If you're planning for the new Year 7 intake in September, are you focusing on the right kind of knowledge? Being unable to verbally declare that 'there are two quavers in a crotchet' and that 'this is called a treble clef' does not define a new pupil's 'musical knowledge'.

[Mark Phillips @EnglishCadence]

A reminder. The ambition of the National Curriculum isn't simply giving opportunities to play, sing, compose & listen. It's about gradually improving technically, building knowledge of how music works, & becoming more sophisticated expressively from Years 1-9. It's a long game.

[Emma Price @ECPrice222]

My first cohort to go all the way through from Year 7-13!

An amazing group of people- I couldn’t be prouder of all you’ve achieved and how you’ve grown in confidence and musicality over the last seven years.

[STAHS Music @STAHSMusic]

Final Founders’ Day Service for our amazing Year 13 singers!

We will miss you so much!!!

[STAHS Music @STAHSMusic]

Congratulations to everyone @stahs & @SASHerts on an amazing joint schools concert last night @StAlbansAbbey!

[Pam Hester Firth @PFirth97]

Thank you Emma it was a joy to sing with the choir. Your enthusiasm good humour commitment and expertise made for a wonderful experience

[Emma Price @ECPrice222]

So proud of everyone performing in this concert @StAlbansAbbey : the orchestra and choir have worked so hard this term to get the @johnmrutter Magnificat learnt and it’s been an absolute joy working with them!

[STAHS Music @STAHSMusic]

If you haven’t yet got your ticket for tomorrow night’s Joint Schools’ Concert with @STAHS & @SASHerts, there is still time!

Only 30 tickets now left!

Get yours before we sell out!!!

[Emma Price @ECPrice222]

@CVMSMusic Barnados!
Think sadly it’s the only one that exists now in this country. All the others: Choir of the Year, Songs of Praise, etc have gone now.

Was just musing about starting a new one for youth choirs as there doesn’t seem to be as many opportunities anymore!

[Emma Price @ECPrice222]

Congratulations to our Senior Chamber Choir on their win last night.

As we won in 2022, I decided to give them the challenge of two double choir pieces for this competition- and they nailed it!

Super proud 🥹

This is heartbreaking to read.

We are sad to share with you the news that Oxford Brookes University has decided to close its music department. Below a statement from the music team - we are all devastated.
