“Out there and among us, there are so many generous people who discreetly make a difference in children’s lives. The Lang Lang Foundation is one example of care, generosity, and commitment: commitment to making the world a better place through music. I have taught children who changed their mood or simply forgot about a headache while playing the piano, and children who look forward to a specific day of the week, as it’s piano day.”
– Andreea Gheorghe, music teacher at Winns Primary School.

At The Winns, kindness, understanding and respect are at the heart of our ethos and underpin everything we do. We are incredibly proud of our diverse school community. Our children love school, they are curious and excited about learning and impress us every day with their thoughtful behaviour, their resilience and determination to learn.
At The Winns we believe that a great school is one where all families feel they belong, where they feel welcome and know they will be listened to if they have any worries or concerns. We are first and foremost a community school and are very proud of our diverse community. We value the richness this brings to our school.

“The atmosphere is “beyond crescendo”. I’ve never seen children this excited. They want to be in school because of the Keys Of Inspiration program. They don’t want to miss a lesson. They want to be in the lab to practice because suddenly something is enriching that they know is unique to their school and this community.”
– Peter James, Risley Avenue Music Teacher.

Here at Risley we challenge and support every pupil to achieve their full potential in an atmosphere of respect. We prepare our children through irresistible learning opportunities to grow into responsible, respectful, independent citizens who are equipped and confident to take their place in the wider world. Parents, governors, staff and children in this learning community strive every day to make Risley a vibrant, inclusive, safe, and happy school. We aim to be remembered by all who come here as a place where learning is at the heart of living.

“The difference the labs are making is already being felt across the school. There is a real sense of pride that comes with having kit like that, and the Head of Music has already noticed how pupils are settling quicker as the classes start – there are less delays because all the headphones work and people want to get going. Having the right equipment really makes a tangible difference.”
– Delia Smith, Headteacher at Ark Academy.

Head of Music at Ark John Keats has said,

“The pianos have had an immense impact on the progress of our pupils so far this year. Pupils from ages 7-16 have enjoyed playing on them and we have seen enthusiasm for music at its highest yet. Pupils love to come to music and play on the pianos and we have seen a real lift in the quality of our music provision since receiving the Lang Lang pianos.”
