Teachers urge more singing in schools beyond Christmas

What happened: New data shows singing happens more often in primary and private schools than in state secondary schools. Teachers say singing should be part of school life all year round, not just at Christmas.

Why it matters:

  • Regular singing can support children's wellbeing and learning.
  • State secondary school students may miss out on these benefits compared to younger and private school pupils.

MNN Take: The findings highlight differences in how often singing is included in school activities, suggesting a potential gap in arts provision between school types and age groups.
