‘All pupils should have access to a quality arts education’ (DfE Guidance for full opening: schools, Aug 2020).
Following latest government guidelines and research, we are delivering live sessions for schools, both in-person and online.
We have taken steps to ensure that all our musicians comply with arrangements for managing and minimising risk and are able to work with schools in adapting provision to reduce risk of infection. Read our Guidance for Covid-safe ‘in-person’ music sessions here. You can download the following information as a flyer here.
