As an experienced instrumental music teacher, I was keen to find out more about the London College of Music Examinations board (LCME) and how they have embedded inclusive practice within their organisation.
Established in 1887, LCME is one of the oldest exam boards for the creative arts in the UK. The examining board is a department of the London College of Music (LCM), a conservatoire which in turn is part of the University of West London, the only one of its kind to be part of a British university.
LCM Examinations is one of four examination boards in the United Kingdom accredited by Ofqual to award graded and diploma qualifications in music as part of the Qualifications and Credit Framework (along with ABRSM, Trinity College London and Rockschool). Interestingly, I discovered that its remit goes beyond instrumental music exams; LCME also awards qualifications in speech and drama. Like some of the other examining boards, its footprint stretches beyond the UK and Ireland, and it has a significant international reach, particularly in South-East Asia.
