Lead schools
Lead schools form part of the Department for Education's new strategy to improve partnerships, progression and inclusion for children and young people.
We want the future hub programme to support stronger links between our schools, academy trusts and to broker opportunities for peer-to-peer learning.
These named lead schools will be working closely with the Music Hub to,
- develop an effective CPD offer
- introduce opportunities for peer-to-peer learning
- showcase high-quality music teaching and champion best practice.
