Kidstrument Curriculum Designer lesson grid with saved lesson tiles

How it works

Three connected tools

Lesson Builder

Pick activities, order them and save lessons for reuse.

My Grids

Place saved lessons into Autumn, Spring, Summer or Other.

School sharing

Share grids with colleagues so planning is reusable across the school.

Teacher workflow

Plan once, teach from the grid

Teachers can launch a lesson, mark it taught, swap tiles when the timetable changes and keep custom planning tidy without losing the curriculum thread.

My lesson gridSaved lessons are placed into term tabs and can be opened from the grid.
Activity detailOpen a saved lesson or activity detail before teaching.
Instrument flexibilityChoose the instruments available for each class, then add them when they support your route. DfE guidance recommends a whole-class instrumental programme in Years 3 or 4 lasting a minimum of one term.
