Booking for Finish This... 2024-25 has now closed!

We do however have a small number of places left for schools in Greater Manchester, Triborough area (London) and Luton.

We also have a small number of places left for SEND and secondary schools from anywhere in England.

If the above applies to your school, please email [email protected] to request the booking link ASAP.

If you have missed the deadline for the 2024/25 academic year but wish to register your interest to take part in 2025/26 please complete this short Expression Of Interest Form.

What next?

If you have already booked with us:

• You should have now received a link to your agreement form which needs completing before the end of term.
• Once we have received your agreement form, you will receive an acknowledgement email and your place will be confirmed.
• All confirmed schools will be sent the link and password to our online hubs containing all of our Finish This… resources.
• Physical toolkits will be posted and arrive at your schools shortly before the beginning of term in September.

What's new for 2024-25?

• We are adding some ‘additional entry point’ suggestions to lesson plans for the KS2 pathway. These draw on some of the ideas put forward in our SEND pathways to ensure any students with additional learning needs, or students who access information in different ways can get the most out of the project.
• There will be an option for secondary schools to run the project in the summer term post exams. Primary & SEND schools will be able to run the project in either the autumn or spring term (or across both of these terms).
• There will be two submission deadlines, the first just before Christmas, and the second just before the Easter holidays.
• We are excited to be partnering with Luton Music Service, Tri-borough Music Hub and One Education Ltd (Manchester) to offer schools in these areas an enhanced version of the project, including some in-person events. Schools in these areas will be contacted directly following booking to be informed about the additional opportunities available to them.
• Building on successful partnerships with the music hubs in 2023/24, we will continue to partner with Greater Essex Music Hub and South Coast Music Hub to provide some additional opportunities to schools in those areas. Again schools will be contacted directly following booking to be informed about details.
• In order to reduce our carbon footprint, we will be sending physical toolkits out on a one per teacher basis. They will also be optional, so if you prefer to work solely from digital resources you can opt to do so.
• Our online hubs will become password protected. If you have previously taken part, you will need to sign up again this year to regain access. This helps us to track who is using the project so we can report back to funders.

And what has not changed

• You will still have access to the same excellent resources.
• You will continue to work with Omar Shahryar’s composition, “Blue, Red, Yellow” (though we have a very exciting new stimulus piece that will be launched in September 2025 – we look forward to sharing news with you about this later in the year).
• Your school’s work will continue to feature on our interactive map on the ENO website.
• A number of compositions will be chosen to be made into animations.
