Disadvantaged Pupils: Music Attainment Gap

Contribution

My Lord, the inequalities that the noble Baroness identified in her Question go on to be clearly manifest in the creative industries, where we know from the excellent work of the Sutton Trust that top-selling musicians are six times more likely to have attended a private school and that more than half the music students at prestigious conservatoires are privately educated, so it is not just the inequalities within education but what they lead to. What are the Government doing to expand career pathways and pathways into further education for students who show talent?
