The government has announced the appointment of a new National Centre for Arts and Music Education.
The Centre – which is expected to launch in September 2026 – ‘will promote opportunities for children and young people to pursue their artistic and creative interests in school – including through the government’s network of music hubs.’
It will also support the delivery of high-quality arts education through online CPD; encourage partnerships between schools and cultural providers; and provide creative industry careers guidance.
The announcement on 18 March coincided with the publication of the interim report of the Curriculum and Assessment Review, which has been led by Professor Becky Francis.
