The Oak National Academy Primary Music Curriculum is a free, high-quality programme designed to support inclusive, joyful and ambitious music education for all primary pupils.
Created in partnership by Bristol Beacon and Cathedral Schools Trust, the curriculum offers a clear, progressive pathway for teaching music from Years 1–6. It supports pupils to develop their musicianship through singing, listening, composing and performing, while nurturing creativity, wellbeing and a lifelong connection to music.
To create the total of 228 lesson content and resources, we partnered with national cultural organisations and acclaimed artists within the sector, drawing on their expertise and resources to produce a range of diverse and engaging content. Creative partners include Paraorchestra, National Children’s Orchestra, Royal Ballet and Opera, Jasdeep Singh Degun, Jason Singh, Nate Holder and more.
