<p>The information requested regarding information on individual schools and whether
they provide music education is not held centrally.</p><p>The government is clear
that music is an important subject and that all pupils should receive a high quality
music education, at least up to the age of 14. That is why the subject is compulsory
in the national curriculum and why this government is providing funding of over £300
million for music education hubs between 2016 and 2020.</p><p>In order to ensure all
pupils are able to enjoy a high quality music education, we are developing and publishing
a non-statutory model music curriculum for key stages 1 to 3. This will expand on
the statutory programmes of study and act as a benchmark for all schools.</p><p>Ofsted’s
new education inspection framework, which comes into effect in September, has a strong
emphasis on ensuring schools provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all their
pupils.</p>
