Links to Curriculum

At Gabriel Music Workshops, we want to successfully aid schools excel in their Music and RE outcomes.  We find that our workshops provide the perfect opportunity for children to develop spiritually, morally, socially and culturally.  Each workshop links directly to set curriculum - whether to the latest OFSTED or SIAMS framework, the National Curriculum or to SACRE. 

 

Our workshops also aid Church of England schools in their distinctively christian vision. 

​

Please see detailed curricular links below (including to the new 2019 OFSTED Framework).  If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
