Jimmy Rotheram
Jimmy Rotheram is music coordinator at Feversham Primary Academy, a formerly failing school which took the brave strategy of prioritising music to drive achievement. It worked. Within a few years, Feversham had risen from one of the worst schools in the country to being in the top 1% for pupil progress by 2018. Jimmy was then shortlisted for the $1m Varkey Foundation Global Teacher Prize. Since then, he has worked with many national and international organisations, including advisory roles for ABRSM, the DfE, the Benedetti Foundation and many others, and keynote talks in Australia, Portugal, Norway and Sweden. Jimmy’s philosophy, drawing on the Kodály and Dalcroze approaches, is that music making should be a joyful and transcendental experience, and if we take the musical development of all children seriously, we will end up with a school full of keen and competent musicians and academic results will follow.
