Our strategic aims

TBMH priorities

No.

Focus

Priority

1

Children

to support musical progression through a broad range of outstanding musical pathways for children and young people

2

Schools

to engage with all schools to enhance the delivery of an effective music curriculum by supporting access to high-quality music education opportunities

3

Workforce

to provide a broad range of effective workforce development opportunities that enhance the quality of music education delivery

4

Families

to support family and community engagement in music education through opportunities led by our diverse range of partner organisations

These service priorities are underpinned by 5 overarching themes of all provision:

Inclusive — Exceptional — Inspiring— Progressive — Sustainable

Our Inclusive Ethos

We are a music-specific service focused on high quality outcomes inclusive of all learners. We recognise the numerous benefits that music can bring to everyone from all backgrounds and in all circumstances. We are proud partners of the emerging Cultural Inclusion Manifesto with a specific SEN/D offer to pupils participating in all of our activity. We are committed to realising the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC).

Development rights: include the right to education, play, leisure, cultural activities, access to information, and freedom of thought, conscience and religion.

Protection rights: ensure children are safeguarded against all forms of abuse, neglect and exploitation, including special care for refugee children; safeguards for children in the criminal justice system; protection for children in employment; protection and rehabilitation for children who have suffered exploitation or abuse of any kind.

Participation rights: encompass children's freedom to express opinions, to have a say in matters affecting their own lives, to join associations and to assemble peacefully. As their capacities develop, children should have increasing opportunity to participate in the activities of society, in preparation for adulthood.

Music Strategy Themes and Key Strands

The overarching themes of all TBMH provision, as stated in our Music Strategy:
Inclusive — Exceptional — Inspiring — Progressive — Sustainable.
  The four key strands in our music strategy are:

  1.     Musical development of children and young people
  2.     Family and community engagement / events
  3.     Enhancing music provision in schools and settings
  4.     Developing the music workforce

To achieve this, the TBMH is committed to high-quality learning at all levels under-pinned by mutually beneficial partnerships which contribute to and support music education within the three boroughs.

A unified approach to music delivery in the Tri-borough area

Our aims are categorised into four key strands, each with four objectives, mapped to outcomes for shared accountability.

Musical development of children and young people

  • To ensure all children and young people are actively making progress according to their stage of learning and with appropriate challenge
  • To ignite and develop children and young people's musical curiosity to explore music in its wider sense
  • To improve the personal, social and emotional development of children and young people through participation in quality musical activity
  • To improve the communication, language and literacy development of young children through participation in creative musical activity

Family and community engagement / Events

  • To ensure that music experiences are of high quality; are interactive; and engage the audience
  • To ensure that music experiences are accessible and affordable, irrelevant of circumstance
  • To ensure that music experiences are aimed at all groups of children including those in challenging circumstances and those with Special Education Needs and Disabilities
  • To ensure that music experiences include next-steps signposting to further encourage family participation and engagement

Enhancing music provision in schools and settings

  • To embed learning and effective practice in host and partner organisations and share practice beyond the project/event/piece of work with a tangible legacy
  • To ensure that music experiences cater for all groups of children including those in challenging circumstances
  • To embed a musical ethos within the setting
  • To develop a reflective practice within the workforce which impacts on successful next steps

Developing the music workforce

  • To further improve the quality and standards of music delivery for children and young people
  • To actively impact on teacher / tutor training and offer sustained support and creative development opportunities for professionals
  • To work with music specialists and those who lack confidence or experience with music delivery
  • To develop reflective practice within the workforce which impacts on successful next steps

About the hub.

The Tri-borough Music Hub is a centralised Local Authority service which receives core funding from Arts Council England. It is the lead organisation that oversees the delivery of music education in three West London boroughs: the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea; the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham; and City of Westminster. We work with schools, children and young people and the music workforce.
