The Department for Education does not collect this information.

Music education hubs receive Department for Education funding through Arts Council England, which manages the hubs on the Department’s behalf. Music hubs have four core roles which they are required to deliver.

Music hubs are free to spend their funding in accordance with local needs and arrangements, and set their own employment terms and conditions.

If K McCarthy was in touch with local schools etc, she would know the answer to her Question. As the nature of Our Country has become more intergrated, would K McCarthy like to tell me what sort of music she would like to have, Western, Hindu, Muslim, or any other non English type music, or the Classics, and to fund that lot to cater for all is indeed a nice task.
