Created by Bristol Beacon and Cathedral Schools Trust, the free Oak National Academy Primary Music Curriculum launched in 2025 to support inclusive and joyful music education for every primary pupil. Now, the creators of the curriculum are offering online CPD courses to help teachers put it into practice. Designed with busy primary schools in mind, the sessions are practical and focus on real classroom experience. About this session Our Adapt session supports teachers and school leaders to personalise the Oak Primary Music Curriculum while maintaining its ambition and progression. Combining curriculum design with practical classroom guidance, the session explores how to adapt Oak’s materials to reflect your school’s context, curriculum vision and community, while ensuring music teaching remains inclusive, responsive and accessible for every pupil.
