Tri-borough Music Hub is seeking to appoint Lead Schools for Music
In accordance with the new DfE/ACE changes and the new National Plan for Music Education (NPME), from April 2025 Lead Schools for Music must be appointed in each Local Authority area. The Tri-borough Music Hub (TBMH) started the process of defining the roles and selecting Lead Schools/Settings during late Autumn 2023. We have now set out the criteria, role, and process for the selection of the Lead Schools/Settings within LBHF, RBKC, and WCC (there is also contextual information about the new Music Hub geographical areas that came into effect from September 2024).
