Your Subject Advisor

This will be my last update for you for 6 months. From Monday 13 February I am moving to another team within Pearson to work on some other projects and will return to the Subject Advisor role later this year. Please do continue to use teachingmusic@pearson.com to submit your questions as we have the support in place to cover my absence. I wish you and your students all the best for exams in May/June.

Training events

We are very pleased to be offering free live online training events across GCSE and A level Music NEA components later this term. These events are intended to give teachers more confidence marking NEA work at GCSE and supporting students in the preparation of NEA work for A level.
