Lead Schools Appointment Process

We are beginning the process of appointing Lead Schools for each of the four Local Authority areas.  There will be at least one primary, one secondary, one SEND school or setting and possibly a MAT appointed in each LA area. Lead Schools will have the opportunity to work closely with the Hub on the development of music provision across the area.

The Music Hub Lead School Strategy Group will oversee the application process. An expert panel will look at applications and nominate the Lead Schools for each area. Feedback will be provided for all schools.
