Head teacher Joanne Bromley remarked ‘we believe wholeheartedly that every child should have the chance to learn to play a musical instrument and explore music as part of the curriculum. We’re grateful to Music Mark for recognising our commitment to quality music education – for a school of our size we leave a pretty large musical footprint.’
