Agenda item

Report of the Director of Learning & Engagement.

The Board considered a report of the Director of Learning & Engagement concerning the Islington Music Education Hub announcement and the following comments were made:

·         Members were advised that Islington Council were partnering with the Guildhall School and the Barbican to launch a new Islington Music Education Hub from October 2018. It is the first time a Music Education Hub will be led by a local authority, working with an internally renowned conservatoire and in alliance with a leading arts centre.

·         Members saw this project as a great opportunity to show the role of an arts centre in implementing education for young people.

·         In response to a query regarding detailed plans and resources, Members were advised that time was needed to work out how the partnership would work, and the Board would be updated as the initiative developed.

·         It was noted that the appendix item was missing, and the Town Clerk agreed to circulate this to Members via email.
