Across all of our activity we use our funding from Department for Education/Arts Council England to subsidise costs to offer value for money to families and to enable equal access.
Pupil Premium and Pupil Premium Plus funding is made available in English schools to raise the attainment of disadvantaged pupils and to close the gap between them and their peers. Rotherham Music does not receive Pupil Premium or Pupil Premium Plus funding directly.
Rotherham Music is however committed to giving every young person access to a music education and to supporting eligible young people to develop their musical talent where possible.
