Ascot Music Micro School
Why Ascot Music Micro School?
"When in May 2024, my husband and I have found ourselves home educating our son, we embarked on a brand new journey, the home education journey.
We have found some great resources and a fantastic new community which has been incredibly supportive and encouraging.
But more importantly we saw how our child was thriving, keen to learn and explore, how his interests have developed, how he started forging and building new relationships and how he developed the skills to pursuit his natural curiosity for learning and for finding his unique place in the world.
We are inviting a small group of families and their children to join us on this non conventional, but so right for us, journey of helping the children grow and learn together to become happy, healthy and thriving members of the community, good citizens for their own and for future generations.
Inspired by the legacy of democratic schools, Ascot Music Micro School is an independent, home from home, democratic micro school giving children a voice in the matters of their unique interests, passions and personal development.
Magdalena Gabriah, Founder and Owner of Ascot Music School
Is Ascot Music Micro School a "School"?
According to the government definition, a school can be registered as an Independent School when 5 or more students attend it full time (18 hours per week or more) (source gov.uk)
That is why we currently can only provide 4 full time spaces for 8-11 year olds and a small number of part time spaces for students either being home educated or flexischooled.
What Sets Us Apart?
- Well to start with, we are a music school, that means that we are run by a founder who attended a full time specialist primary music school, how it filled her life with a song and opportunities that are difficult to find elsewhere.
- That is why Ascot Music School offers students daily music opportunities whether it is as part of their 121 lessons, choir or ensembles.
- We focus on our students being happy, feeling safe and heard as in our experience these are the building blocks of successful education.
- We know children are most creative when they have the time to be creative which is why we offer frequent self directed learning opportunities instead of cramming our students' timetable with back to back lessons.
- Our students don't really take homework home, all the work they need to do is done within the school day.
- Benefitting from small numbers, our students have 121 Personal Learning Development based on their needs and interests.
- Our school is run by an award winning executive coach, Magdalena Gabriah, and we believe that this is what helps our students realise their potential.
- Our students have opportunities to develop their interests as part of their peer group as well as during independent study time.
- But don't take our word for it- register to attend one of our Open Days and find out what sets up apart.
"Music is not separate from life, it is life itself.
Just the same as music education is somehow sometimes seen as a form of education.
Music is education".

September 2025- "Mondays are Go"
On Mondays between 9.00am and 3.00pm we open our doors to home educated and flexi schooled children aged 7-11 years old.
Parents can drop their children off for a day of academic lessons, music, social interactions and creativity.
There are no pre-requisites to attending the day, children of all musical abilites (and none) are welcome.
It however is suggested that children attending the day have an interest in music, or want to find out more about music.
In the course of the day we split our time between music and self directed learning opportunities.
Our days unravel organically based on the interests and engagement of the students.
There is time in each day for students to take time out if they feel overstimulated and pursuit their interests during Self Directed Learning time.
Here is an example of our day plan. Each day varies slightly in its timing driven by the needs and interests of our students.
- 9.30am-9.45am Drop Off
- 9.45am-10.00am Reading
- 10.00am-10.15am Morning Meeting
- 10.15am-11.00am KS2 Literacy
- 11.00am-11.15am Break
- 11.15am-12.00pm KS2 Numeracy
