We're raising funds for LMP's community and education work at our home in Croydon, for our 75th birthday year (2024).

Situation
Not enough school children in Croydon have access to music education. This is particularly true for secondary schools. 50% of children at independent schools receive sustained music tuition, the figure for state schools is a mere 15%. In Croydon hundreds of schools have collectively lost £800,000 in government funding designated specifically for poorer pupils since 2021. Global majority artists and artists from disadvantaged backgrounds are under-represented in the classical music industry.
Solution
We will do the following: Increase our education work in both primary and secondary schools. Introduce a new Inspire programme for Primary schools. Introduce a new set works programme for secondary schools aligning our education work with the national curriculum and side-by-side performance opportunities for more gifted pupils. Selection process for schools to include criteria on Pupil Premium to ensure we target the most disadvantaged.
