We know that schools have many difficult financial decisions to make and to support you with this, we have been able to keep our SLA prices frozen for next academic year at the same rates as this year. Our Catalogue of Services for 2021-22 can be found here, and it is also available on Leeds for Learning.

As lead partner in the Leeds Music Education Partnership (LMEP), we are also able to continue supporting you through the range of discounted schemes including bursaries, tuition cost cashbacks, fully subsidised CPD and resources, subsidised Live Music and access to large scale events. The full LMEP Offer for Schools 2021-22 plus Terms and Conditions can be viewed here.

ArtForms continues to be the provider of choice for the majority of Leeds Schools and Academies and we endeavour to provide an offer which addresses both school priorities and the priorities of the National Plan for Music. As such, we have developed two new additional products for 21/22 which may be of interest to you:

Wellbeing and Recovery Curriculum
The ArtForms designed curriculum has musical creativity at its heart and provides sessions that are physically active, engaging, mindful, and most importantly of all, fun. This is appropriate for KS2. Further details can be found in the Curriculum section of the catalogue.

Whole Class Instrumental follow on
This programme aims to bridge the gap between whole class and small group teaching and supports children in KS2 to make an informed transition to small group tuition in subsequent years. You have the option to either fund this programme yourselves or pass on the costs to parents – which, alongside our tuition cashback offer, works out at the equivalent cost of a meal deal per week per student. Further details can be found in the Instrumental Learning section of the catalogue.

If you require any assistance before placing your order please phone 0113 3782850 or email educ.artforms@leeds.gov.uk. Likewise, If you’d like further information of how we can work with you to develop or enhance your current provision or key priorities then do contact the ArtForms Office and we’d be happy to have a conversation with you. In order to assist with our timetabling process, please submit your weekly delivery requirements via Leeds for Learning by Friday 1^st May 2021.

The deadline for cashback applications and applications for pupil bursaries is October half term so please make sure you apply before then so that you don’t lose out!
