**continues with great enthusiasm. Of the**
**initial year 4 group, two pupils have**
**continued with individual flute lessons**
**in the past year and are keen to**
**maintain lessons into year 6. From the**
**second group of year 4 pupils this year,**
**we have two groups of about six pupils**
**wanting to progress to the flute in year**
**5. We are looking to start subsidising**
**individual lessons on a second**
**instrument ( guitar or piano) in the**
**academic year starting September 2024.**
**In the autumn 2023 term we also**
**supported Ukelele lessons for the entire**
**year 6 group which were a great**
**success.**
**The glockenspiels and drums continue**
**to be used to great effect by the**
**younger children, and staff have**
**commented on how useful they are in**
**helping with musical teaching as**
**required for both Keystage 1 and 2**
**In autumn 2023 we received feedback**
**from a sixth form student who we had**
**assisted with funding to enable him to**
**spend his gap year teaching in a rural**
**school in South America. He had**
**obviously had a fabulous time and**
**learned a lot about many aspects of life.**
**The relatively modest sums requested**
**by Tollesbury School mean that we have**
**been able to continue to support them**
**from the Barclays current account. The**
**funds invested with Finn and Co have**
**therefore remained untouched and**
**continue to grow.**| ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |
