Disadvantaged Pupils: Music Attainment Gap

Contribution

I welcome the Question from the noble Baroness, Lady Keeley. May I suggest to the Minister that she looks more closely at music hubs? It is extremely difficult for disabled children to get to music hubs because it has to be a parent who drives them there. I am sure the investment in music is very welcome, but it will not help disabled children. One of the many benefits of music is singing, which allows deaf children to learn how to speak properly.
