Well, that’s our 5th @school21_uk musical done and dusted. A huge team of inspiring teachers, parents and students make these things possible every year. That and a school culture where the arts are not an afterthought #feedme #liveband #GitIt #LittleShopOfHorrors

If you’re serious @Keir_Starmer then a good start would be talking to passionate, expert music teachers & leaders who are already doing this and working strategically with them to make it happen everywhere @UKLabour @bphillipsonMP

Prime Minister @Keir_Starmer reflected today on how playing the flute gave him many opportunities at a young age. Music has the power to enrich young people's lives. It is vital that Labour fulfils its pledge to put music and the arts back at the heart of our schools.

Schools- red flags that are contributing to this: 🚩 Arts on a carousel 🚩 Arts teachers teaching outside of specialism because of cut hrs 🚩Subject hierarchy nonsense Music is vital in ALL our lives & ALL our schools Please can we start doing it properly again @UKLabour

What does it take ‘in kind’ to do this in a school? 1. Over 200 unpaid hrs on Saturdays & half terms 2. Months of planning, logistics and after school rehearsals 3. Ongoing fundraising to break even Arts in schools can’t survive like this @UKLabour What will you do about it?
