“NTMEH has been a ‘lifeline’ this year in supporting the creative development and wider opportunities in Music for our children at Whitehouse Primary. The team of Music specialists have always supported our staff in delivering the music curriculum, supported our Music Lead in planning and subject development through individual support or network meetings, and encouraged wider opportunities and specialist tuition for talented young people through their Saturday Music Centre, children’s choirs and ukulele groups. Their support, skill and enthusiasm has reconnected young people with a common interest- whether online or in class”.

SEND Provision
NTMEH provides a range of services and support to SEND and alternative educational provision settings in North Tyneside through our specialist Service Level Agreement (SLA).
Musical Inclusion
‘Musical Inclusion is about removing barriers to ensure all children enjoy full participation in a music education that supports the development and achievement of each young person based on their individual abilities, needs and interests’.
CPD For Schools
In addition to termly network meetings and drop-in sessions, NTMEH offers a wide range of continuing Professional Development (CPD) opportunities for music teachers, senior leaders, tutors and freelance practitioners.
Instrumental Tuition
All instrumental lessons are delivered by our team of freelance visiting music teachers, some of whom are commissioned directly through the hub, with others directly contracted via schools and parents.
Blended & Virtual Learning
North Tyneside Music Education Hub have recently developed a strengthened blended learning model to support schools and young people in the area.
Singing Strategy
We also host a number of collaborative events, not least our annual Spring Sing: a week-long singing celebration held each year at the Whitley Bay Playhouse which usually involves over 1,000 children and young people from our primary schools across North Tyneside.
Whether it’s developing people’s skills and knowledge through training or bringing colleagues together at an event, our teams deliver training and events that reflect your current needs.
