Having worked with Durham Music Service for a number of years now the impact of music making within our SEND setting is unmeasurable. Many of the students in our school are non-verbal and music gives them a means to communicate with each other. It’s one of the few sessions each week that they come together as a group to celebrate and share. Keeley Steel, Hopewood Academy Terms and Conditions Manage Cookie Preferences
