INSET Days
For the KS1 and KS2 concerts we hold INSET days for those teachers attending those concerts. These are an opportunity for teachers to be introduced to specially written classroom projects linked to the concerts and have the chance to get to know any participation songs, learning the best techniques of teaching these to their class. Teachers will receive a Project Pack, outlining these classroom activities and any additional resources to help prepare their students for the concert. This is included in the price of the ticket.
