This is Trinity - September's focus: Meeting strategic aims

The start of a new academic year brings a renewed focus as an organisation or business on setting goals and developing strategies for success. For September, This is Trinity puts a focus on 'meeting strategic aims'.

As a commercial business and educational charity Trinity supports a variety of organisations in their journey from where they are to where they want to be – from state and independent schools, Music Hubs & Services to Local Cultural Education Partnerships.
We do this through a broad range of products and a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offer that can support specific educational initiatives such as Progress 8, whole class ensemble teaching, the National Plan for Music Education and Artsmark.

Take a look at this month’s resources to see how we can help you to achieve your strategic aims through assessment, content and training which is innovative, personal and authentic.

Music Hubs & Services and Progress 8

We have a dedicated webpage for Music Hubs and Services that explores how our CPD and various products can aid in meeting their core and extended roles. There are also two new blogs that explore the respective National Plan for Music Education in England and Wales and how we can directly support their delivery.

Progress 8 is an accountability measure introduced to track how well schools are performing and relates to a students’ progress from their Year 6 predicted outcomes. Including music exam grades can support raising a pupil’s overall score – find out more about how Trinity’s graded music exams can support schools in increasing Progress 8 scores.

Good communication skills are invaluable in all areas of the student journey and beyond, and as such, can support your School Improvement Plan and Careers Strategy. We have developed our 'Communication skills for work and life success' web resource to provide tips and practical examples of how to build the communication skills that support students in their learning and ultimately in reaching their long-term goals.
