New for 2021 graphic

Many teachers in England have asked us about the DfE’s non-statutory Model Music Curriculum, and whether we’ll be doing anything differently following its release. Yes is the short answer, and here’s an overview of what we’re doing.Fulfilling all the requirements of the statutory National Curriculum for Music, our current, award-winning Scheme will remain unchanged to provide continuity for teachers who love using it.

Those interested in exploring the DfE’s non-statutory Model Music Curriculum, or simply looking for new resources and repertoire for their school, can soon follow our new MMC Scheme – a Scheme aligned to the listening, notation, skills and year-by-year progression pathway of the DfE’s MMC.

Teachers will also have the option of building their own bespoke Scheme using our new Scheme builder feature. Using the tool, you’ll be able to edit existing Charanga lessons and units, upload your own materials, or mix and match the two. Once completed, you can share your bespoke Scheme with your colleagues.new Scheme builder feature.

Both the MMC Scheme and our Scheme builder feature will be ready for the new term.
