Attend Free Music Network Meetings
Dates for 2025/26
Primary Music Network Meetings 2025 / 26 – FREE CPD meetings
The Leicestershire Music (LM) Primary Music Network Meetings are offered in partnership with the Leicestershire and Rutland Teaching School Hub (LRTS Hub)
There are 3 meetings each year that are FREE to attend for all Primary Music Leads.
Music Leads can choose to attend the option that suits them best from the 2 formats below (both held on the same day):
A) In-Person meeting from 1:00-3:00pm at a city centre venue. This option allows time to network with other city and county teachers and can sometimes include a guest speaker.
B) Online Teams meeting from 3:30-4:30pm. This option is more of a summary of the full meeting content and gives less opportunity for networking due to the shortened time and remote format.
Dates will be updated below shortly
