£80 million music hub funding confirmed
The government has invested in extra £80 million in music hubs, as well as an extra £1 million next year for charities that help young people learn about different styles of music .
A series of other cultural education programmes will also receive an additional £4 million funding boost next year, so pupils will have more opportunities to put their film making skills to the test, explore museums or take to the stage.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb has also announced a manifesto commitment to offer an ‘arts premium’ to secondary schools to allow young people to learn creative skills and widen their horizons.
School Standards Minister Nick Gibb said: "Music, arts and culture play an essential role in enriching pupils’ education, and we want to give as many young people as possible the opportunity to learn an instrument or perform in a choir or a band.
"Our continued investment will play an important role in helping young people widen their horizons and access all the opportunities that learning a musical instrument can provide - whether that be playing for pleasure or performing.
The curriculum schemes that will receive a total of £85 million for 2020/21 are Music Education Hubs; In Harmony; National Youth Music Organisations (NYMOs) and Music for Youth; and Cultural education (Heritage Schools, BFI Film Academy, Museums and Schools, ACE Bridge Network, National Youth Dance Company, Saturday Art and Design Clubs).
