ACE – Artforms Leeds

Annual Arts Council Music Data Return Form

Catherine Lloyd — Fri, 14 Feb 2020 09:00:52 +0000

This year, due to the sterling effort made by schools in helping us submit a comprehensive picture of music-making in our city, Leeds Music Education Partnership (LMEP) was awarded £1.2 million from Arts Council England (ACE).

We now need your help with this year’s annual return so that we can continue offering subsidies to schools, providing CPD opportunities and enabling children to participate in inspiring musical performances.

Please complete and return this form to Jo at jo.richardson@leeds.gov.uk by Friday 14^th February.

ACE requires data on musical activity in every school in Leeds regardless of who delivers the tuition so please complete the form even if you do not buy in provision from ArtForms or another LMEP provider.

Many thanks in advance for helping us to once again secure the future of music-making in Leeds.

LMEP request for data return

Catherine Lloyd — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 15:54:32 +0000

Last academic year LMEP submitted a comprehensive annual Data Return to the Arts Council about music provision across our city. As a result Leeds has been rated as minor risk, the best rating that the Arts Council awards. £1.2 million of funding has now been secured to continue implementing the National Plan for Music in 2018/19.

LMEP’s strengths include:

Effectively engaging with 95% of schools (national average 89%)
Providing relevant CPD through Music Connect and LLP
Strong WCET provision (where a whole class learns to play an instrument together)
Instrumental continuation rates growing year on year
Ensemble provision expanding
Supporting 80% of schools with singing strategies (national average 70%)

Retaining Arts Council confidence in LMEP will ensure that levels of funding are maintained in the years to come. We’d like your help once again to ensure that our next Data Return reflects the true picture of music making in all Leeds schools. This year we’re asking for a mid-year snapshot rather than an end of year return.

Please return this form (pdf) to jo.richardson@leeds.gov.uk or ArtForms, Pudsey Civic Hall, Dawson’s Corner, Leeds, LS28 5TA.

A new school year, a new-look Artsmark

Free Event – Artsmark Briefing and Marketplace – 30 September – Leeds West Academy – Intake Lane Rodley, Leeds LS13 1DQ

October sees the launch of a totally revamped Artsmark award from Arts Council England which will help your school target priorities in your school development plan with support from arts and cultural organisations and practitioners.

Cape UK are offering schools in Wakefield, York and Leeds an exclusive preview of the new-look Artsmark and the chance to meet some of the region’s arts and cultural organisations at our Artsmark Briefing and Marketplace event on 30th September at Leeds West Academy from 4pm to 6pm.

The new Artsmark has been designed with teachers to support connections with schools’ own strategies and is aligned with the National Curriculum and planning cycles. For those who have achieved Artsmark before, the biggest difference you’ll see is that Artsmark is now forward looking rather than being an audit of past work. The feedback from pilot schools who tested the new process last term has been very positive.

After the briefing session there will be a marketplace where you can meet arts and cultural organisations and practitioners to discuss your needs and find new ways of working together to achieve your aims.
