SEND, SEMH and PRU
Nottingham Music Service works with SEND schools as well as SEMH and PRU schools. Bespoke to suit the needs of pupils, NMS offers instrumental tuition that can be delivered as whole/half class or individuals/small groups by NMS staff. We also work with partner organisations who specialise teaching in these settings to suit the needs and abilities of the students across all key stages.
For professional development opportunities with NMS, please see our CPD Resources page.
I've seen a couple of the sharing' sessions that Claire [Music Hub Team Lead] and the Oak Field classes have put together. They are a delight to see, and even more so to hear (even on the wind down the corridor!). I think you'd be very proud of the Music Hub's work in Oak Field. Thank you for this work with us, we are looking forward to more!

Nottingham Music Service - SEND SEMH PRU School Booking Form 2025-2026
Nottingham Music Service is pleased to provide details of our 2025-2026 programme. This year we have exciting opportunities from high quality Music Instrumental tuition to Music Technology, classroom DJ skills and a partnership with the Open Orchestra.
All of the students look forward to Open Orchestra every week! Since we began in September, it has been a joy to see how everyone has developed their musical skills and confidence. The sessions not only promote a love of music but also contribute towards communication skills with peers learning to play music together as a group. It has been so valuable in helping us all to feel part of something big, something special!
”Oak Field School Teacher
I have now been teaching for 34 years and there have been very few occasions when I have felt emotionally moved by an experience during a working day. Yesterday presented me with a personal first, where I found myself moved to tears by the experience in the hall when all of my pupils and many of my staff contributed to the playing of 'In the Hall of the Mountain King'. It was without a doubt one of the most remarkable things that I have ever been witness to in a long, and occasionally colourful, teaching career. We sometimes find ourselves in circumstances that we know will remain with us probably for a lifetime and for me yesterday was one of those events. I cannot thank you enough for the effort and energy that you put into all of your work with our children. The outcome to that event is testimony to the excellent practice that you bring every day and rest assured I will endeavour to bore all of my friends over the Christmas holiday with my recount of the day.
