"There has been a significant improvement in outcomes at GCSE Music in 2026. OAE colleagues work with teachers to facilitate staff development, meaning that capacity has significantly grown, and that ongoing improvement is sustainable. Help comes in the form of broad professional support, sharing of expertise, and opportunities for teachers to participate in OAE events that makes [an] impact on their practice in the classroom. As headteacher, I am hugely grateful to the OAE for their patient, skilful work, and to all those involved in helping us to ensure our wonderful partnership makes an impact on young people’s outcomes.”
