Music: Teachers
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what support her Department gives to qualified peripatetic and school music teachers to help them deliver music lessons.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The department provides £76 million per annum for the Music Hub network that employs or contracts with over 9,000 peripatetic teaching staff across England. Music Hubs work with classroom teachers in over 90% of schools.
The Music Hub network provides continued professional development (CPD) for both peripatetic and classroom teachers, as well as services to schools, including whole class ensemble teaching, group tuition, one-to-one tuition of pupils and instrument loans.
The new National Centre for Music and Arts Education will provide an online CPD offer and support to access existing high-quality teacher development to support delivery of the new music curriculum from September 2028.
