The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has been appointed as the Hub Lead Lead Organisation (HLO) by Arts Council England as part of a consortium agreement across the Seven Local Authorities:

1. Brent

2. Ealing

3. Hammersmith and Fulham

4. Harrow

5. Hillingdon

6. Kensington and Chelsea

7. Westminster

This covers five existing Music Services/Hubs:

1. Brent

2. Ealing

3. Harrow

4. Hillingdon

5. Tri-borough (Hammersmith and Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, Westminster)

The collective vision is that “The London West Music Hub is a consortium of five music services covering seven Local Authorities working together to maximise the music education potential of all young people in West London by turning opportunities into meaningful pathways through connected partnerships.” 

All five existing music services/hubs will continue to deliver locally. They will operate under a new strategic vision and LWMH Governance Board that will guide the services towards increasingly shared provision over time. This might include joint CPD/training, a single approach to Safeguarding, some shared performance events, ensembles or holiday courses, for example. There is a lot of work to do to allow the new structure to evolve to best meet the needs of our stakeholders across all seven local authorities. 

Our ambition is to maintain all current existing services and ensure that all our combined students, schools, teachers, and families continue to receive outstanding music education in our West London community. For us to collectively deliver a high-quality music education for all learners, it is essential that schools, families, partner organisations, students, and the community work together with the LWMH. We look forward to achieving this with you all.
