The award honours schools for the work they are doing to nurture, develop and enable their pupils’ musical creativity. As this is an ArtForms award, replacing the LMEP awards of previous years, we are delighted with the combination of successful schools who have retained Music Champion status alongside many schools who are brand new Music Champions. All schools who applied were on the right path to achieving champion status and we would encourage unsuccessful schools to reapply next year. Support is available to all Leeds schools to help them achieve music champion standard.
Recipients of the award receive a Music Mark membership (the strategic lead organisation in the UK for Music Education), a framed certificate, a banner to display outside your school and a digital Music Champion logo to include on all school publicity. Champion schools may also be asked to support our Music Connect networks by showcasing good practice.
We intend to celebrate all successful Music Champion Schools at our Leeds Youth Music Festival celebration concert at Leeds Arena on 1st July.
