Disadvantaged Pupils: Music Attainment Gap

Contribution

My Lords, the Government are committed to tackling inequity in music education. In response to the curriculum and assessment review, we will reform the music curriculum in all state-funded schools from September 2028, with a focus on improving equity and quality. We will also establish the new national centre for music and arts education later this year to support teacher development, backed by continued investment in the music hubs network.
