found out today that dd's doesn't. Have suspected for a while - it's very academic, more emphasis on SATS results. Not many after school clubs, which doesn't worry me too much, but I thought they'd be able to do more music in juniors - in the other schools nearby they have music lessons in school time (when they learn to play an instrument). dd's school doesn't allow this - is this usual? both dh and I did it and I assumed (silly me) it was the norm. Other mums take their kids to after school dance classes etc but dh and I can't always do this as we work. dd doesn't seem bothered yet but is she missing out?!
I would like her to do music as I did and she seems interested, although she's young yet. I guess I could do private lessons when she's older.

does your dc's school do much other than the academic stuff?
