Music in every school,
every day.

Our mission is simple: an inspiring music education for every child.

A community of 25 primary and secondary schools in Abingdon and Didcot bringing unique and life enhancing musical experiences to local children.

What is Music Flood?

Music Flood is a partnership between 25 schools in Oxfordshire with one aim: to put music in every school, every day. With highly publicised inequalities in funding, training, confidence and provision for music in schools, our cross-sector partnership is a powerful tool to ensure every child benefits from an inspiring music education. The project is supported by Radley College, Abingdon Music Centre and Oxfordshire Music Education Partnership.

  • Music can be quite self-absorbing. You can get taken up in your own world and suddenly your music is all you surround yourself with. By hearing different styles of music from other people, it lets you see beyond the bubble you create when you are on your own.

  • What a week! Something for everybody, every day. We loved it and wanted to put on record our thanks for some lovely music making.

  • I had a vision for what our children should know at the end of primary school, mainly to be able to read and interpret music. But more importantly, to experience the thrill of music and the joy of singing together in a big group. We've certainly done that!

  • Thank you for making the week so lively and inspiring for our students!

  • Every child is a musician. Seeing children and teachers from schools across Abingdon sharing in their love of music, alongside some incredible professional musicians, has been utterly joyous. We’re so excited about the plans we have for this year.

  • This morning was brilliant! Our children really enjoyed the festival feel and loved joining in. We hope it will happen again next year and we 'll definitely be taking part!
