In Key Stages 1 to 3, music and art and design are statutory subjects for maintained schools. At Key Stage 4, all pupils in maintained schools must be offered the opportunity to study at least one subject in the arts ‘entitlement’ area, which includes art and design, music, dance, drama, and media arts.</p><p>Beyond the curriculum, we are investing £300 million of ring fenced funding in music hubs in 2016-20. This is intended to ensure all pupils benefit from a high quality music education, including learning to play musical instruments and having the opportunity to play and sing in ensembles.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/09/2017 06:53:28 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
