Making a Model Music Curriculum What’s right for your school? Dr Liz Stafford considers how schools can ensure that their music curriculum meets the needs of their whole school community. The notion of a ‘model’ curriculum is bizarre at best. A curriculum is not a document, it is a multi-faceted entity. It works best when it is grown and developed to suit the needs of pupils, by the teachers who are going to deliver it. Where our current National Curriculum excels is in the amount of flexibility educators have to create bespoke content and delivery modes to suit the needs of their school. A model curriculum which maps detailed content and specific teaching methodologies into each year group actually makes it more difficult for schools to deliver a quality experience for their pupils.
