<p>The government is committed to high-quality education for all pupils, and the arts
and music are integral to this. With the significant impact of COVID-19 on children’s
learning, the department’s priorities have inevitably had to focus on education recovery
in the recent Spending Review. The government remains committed to the ambitions in
the Plan for Cultural Education published in 2013, and will give consideration for
a future arts premium in due course.</p><p>In recognition of the merit of these subjects
and how they contribute to a broad and balanced education in and out of school settings,
the department will continue to invest around £115 million per annum in cultural education
over the next three years, though our music, arts and heritage programmes.</p><p>With
the real terms per pupil increases to core school funding and the additional £1 billion
new funding announced specifically for recovery, schools will continue to have the
flexibility to deliver a broad and ambitious curriculum and enrichment activities.</p>
