Barnsley Music Education Hub website now has new features which we really hope will support schools. As well as a new Online Learning section that was developed last term, we have also been working hard to reduce the amount of printed paper resources that we use, therefore we have included the following documents online:
· Pupil Practice Diary
· Pupil Handbook (Lots of information about how lessons work)
· New Starter Form (Pink Form)
Here is The link to these documents:
