Hi, we just wanted to share this website https://www.theschoolrun.com/
They have so much useful information on there for primary school children. There is tons of free information and worksheets. They also have a paid service (I haven’t tried this). Information is organised:

It’s very useful and makes it easy to find subjects and project ideas.
This February half term, EFDSS will be hosting a great programme of courses for 6 – 19 year olds at Cecil Sharp House. The courses are inclusive and welcoming, for all abilities with elements of music, dance and song.

Future Talent supports gifted young musicians from low income backgrounds from anywhere in the UK. This is typically families who have a household income of around £30,000 per year, or less, before tax (incl. benefits). Any young musicians on free school dinners would be eligible for one of our bursaries.
Bursaries of up to £2,000 per year can be used on anything that will help nurture a young musician’s talent. For example, funds can be used for lessons, a new instrument or case, courses or maintenance.
We do not have a specific grade requirement or level that needs to be reached, but rather we try to weigh up the financial need/talent/potential of each musician. Some examples of the kind of musicians we support are below:
Our Mentoring, Advice and Bursary Programme also offers free orchestral days and performance classes, mentoring with a professional musician/conductor and development opportunities. Our aim is to give talented young musicians an equal chance to enter a musical career, who might otherwise not get the opportunity due to lack of funds or experience.
The Charity is now accepting applications for a 2017/18 Bursary. The closing date is Monday 16 January 2017.
Further details about our different bursaries and a short video about Future Talent can be found on our website: futuretalent.org.
You will find our application guidelines, form and financial declaration online and if you or your pupils have any questions then we would be more than happy to help. Please feel free to email me at lucia@futuretalent.org, or telephone on 0203 457 1312.

NEW THIS TERM: CHOIR. Yes we have a new choir starting this term with a concert at the end of the term.
Choir : Tues from 7pm – 8.30 – currently this is taking children from age 7 – upwards (subject to time change if a large primary school age/secondary school age variety)
Adult Group piano lessons: Thursday’s from 7.30 – 9.00 max. numbers 8 (NB I have taught group piano lessons for up to 12 in a group for 10 years in Hammersmith and Fulham Adult education).
Currently starting a ‘re-living’ history of music course – which starts on Monday 24th October at the Fulham Group – however if this gets oversubscribed then there may be an opportunity of running it at my studio at another time. (HER)
Occasionally I run workshops in things like HOW THE PIANO WORKS which involves taking the piano apart and putting it back together again.
Other workshops include – Creative music making; Sigh-treading; Paperweaving and more both music and craft workshops.
Can also help with GCSE Revision.
All students can work towards ABRSM exams ( I have been teaching since 1989 and have a 100% exam success rate with both individual and group students. With around 60% Merits and Distinctions). Groups get the opportunity of working towards music medals.
