Though the "National Curriculum" doesn't apply to "free" schools or private schools

At primary school, I remember the teacher playing the piano as we walked out of assembly. One she played frequently really grabbed my attention. Eventually I found out what it was: the Gavotte from Grieg's Holberg Suite. I didn't hear it again until the suite was a set work for O-level music some years later. But I felt as though I knew it, even so.

The key bit of your statement isn't the fact that classical music was played at school BUT that you were curious enough to investigate what it was.
