I used to be a primary school head teacher (ugh!!) and brought in 2 artists (Pete Coe and Roy Bailey) with the intention of enhancing the curriculum.

Roy worked with the whole school (210 Bangladeshi children)teaching them songs and making it a lot of fun.

Pete Coe worked with KS2 pupils, taking one of the history topics and working it into music, song and dance. Both sessions were very much tutor led, but both very participative.

There definitely is not enough space or provision for this form in the present curriculum sadly - it's very much up to the creativity of the staff.
