To ensure we meet your needs our offer is developed in partnership with schools. We are very grateful to the many teachers in Croydon schools who work with us to continually develop and improve our programmes

CMA is funded to act as a Music Hub providing CPD for schools in a similar way to Maths and English Hubs. We support other art forms through our Arts Council Place Partnership funding. Our FREE CPD courses for teachers are devised in partnership with, and delivered using the expertise of, teachers in lead schools, including Riddlesdown Collegiate.
Information about CPD sessions will be included in the school events section of the schools page and sent directly. Please ensure CMA has named contacts.
Support is also available through the This is Croydon Schools Programme development journey and our FREE Schools Support Hub including the School Music Development Plan guidance.

CMA classroom programmes include music and performing arts across Key Stage 1 and music incorporating instrumental learning across Key Stage 2. These can be taught by CMA or school staff using CMA’s Scheme or Work and Exemplar Resources. From September 2024 we have funding to provide FREE instruments for classroom instrumental learning programmes across Key Stages 2 and 3.
