Schools/Teachers

Our development as an arts service is led by an Arts Education Strategy Forum. This includes Advanced Skills Teachers, representatives from music and arts specialist schools, Croydon Council cultural services and others with a strategic contribution to make.

With the team of Advanced Skills Teachers we provide support for the arts curriculum in schools through training and development courses for class teachers. Schools will extend their pupils through arts projects involving artists and others visiting schools or children visiting cultural venues. We shall work with schools to develop quality projects, including the Sound Experience music projects delivered by Croydon Music and Arts staff. For children and young people who wish to develop their interests and talents beyond the classroom we shall support schools in developing and signposting out of school arts activities.

Instrumental and vocal tuition in schools is provided by Croydon Music and Arts teachers, following quality standards recommended by the Federation of Music Services.Schools are an important partner for instrumental lessons, and schools commitment

is needed for successful lessons to take place, and to help ensure the health and safety of pupils.

Instrumental and vocal teaching in Croydon is a rewarding experience. If you have the necessary skills and enthusiasm to help maintain Croydon’s leading position we would like to hear from you.
