***CHANGE OF COMPANY DIRECTION***
​Please do get in touch if you want clarification on this statement

After much discussion and deep-thought, we have decided the following:

We are still taking bookings for National Curriculum Music for PPA provision in Primary schools, for this year, on either 1 or 2 year-fixed contracts..........we will be accepting new contracts up until 1st July 2022.  Please make your booking enquires as you normally would.

Please note though that, thereafter, we have decided to concentrate on the delivery of termly and half-termly workshops and instrumental lessons going forward into the future, so at the end of school's contract periods, we are not going to be seeking their renewal.
​We have taken this decision on a number of factors, particularly where demand for our services lay, budget constraints for schools (as in not all schools can afford long-term PPA provision, but can budget for 1 or 2 termly workshops), and, rather awkwardly, the general support we receive from school leaders in a classroom setting - and on that last point, it would be best if I don't say anything further, but please do ask if you are intrigued.

After 18 months of COVID issues, which has given us the time to stop and "take stock", we feel that, after 12 years of hard, dedicated work, it is time for change.

A lot of our current schools are aware of our decision, and have already made workshop bookings with us for 2022/23 academic year!  We, along with like-minded school leaders, understand, appreciate and respect the value of music education and the impact it has on the lives of children and young people, with many youngsters we teach turning to music and creative arts careers.  We still have the drive and desire to play an important, leading role in music education - but we are just going to go about it in a different way!

Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to the possibility of working with you all in the future.

Kind regards
