Music Guidance for Governors
A new guide to Music Education for Governing Boards has been produced through collaboration between the National Governance Association, Arts Council England and Music Mark, the UK Association for Music Education.
Please use the link on this page to access the guide.
"The value of creative education in the lives of our young people – and the important role that subjects such as art and design, dance, drama and music have to play alongside English, maths and science – has never been more apparent as we begin to recover from the educational, social and health impacts of Covid-19 [...] We encourage governors and trustees to champion cultural education in their schools, so that we can do our best to ensure quality arts education for all [...] These cultural education subjects encourage pupils to express themselves, to build confidence and to develop creative thinking skills, unlocking young people’s potential and preparing them to succeed in life. Schools remain the single most important place where children can access great cultural experiences."
