Rocksteady is the leading provider of in-school band lessons for primary age children and they have now started teaching 55 children from across Penny Oaks!

Rock Steady's inclusive approach helps children find a sense of belonging through new friendships and a shared love for music, whilst boosting social skills, wellbeing and confidence. The lessons are held on a Tuesday morning and children have formed 5 bands each with guitarists, drummers, keyboard players, bassists and vocalists. The children receive tuition through a band practice approach and at the end of each term hold a concert for parents to show off their new skills.

The lessons are inclusive and available to all pupils, including children with SEND, EAL and additional needs. All instruments for lessons provided and parent communication and scheduling are all handled by Rocksteady. Children can earn an exam-free, Ofqual-regulated music qualification, accredited by Trinity College London.

We are so excited to welcome Rocky Steady to Penny Oaks to bolster our already jam-packed music curriculum, which includes vocal tuition for all with a trained choral director and instrumental tuition for all of our KS2 children.
