LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across Berkshire, including Reading, Slough and Bracknell, can enquire about provision. We discuss the room, timetable, instruments and teaching availability before agreeing a partnership.
WHAT EACH SIDE DOES
What we bring, and what schools in Berkshire provide
You can request more teaching time as interest grows. Your existing arrangement continues while we review what can be added.
Ours to provide
- The instruments
- Lesson instruments are free to the school. The teacher brings the equipment and takes it away after teaching.
- Checks and training
- Teachers complete safeguarding training and enhanced DBS, identity and reference checks before joining the teaching team. We keep the records available for schools to review.
- A page for your school
- Your school has its own lesson page showing its name, address and available instruments. Parents use that page to apply.
- The running of it
- Day-to-day lesson administration is managed by our team. Your school has a named contact for questions or issues that need attention.
Yours to provide
- A room and a slot
- We need a room for teaching and an agreed slot within the school day. We work with you on a rotating timetable.
- One person to ask
- Choose a school contact who can help with practical questions about rooms, dates and timetable changes.
Schools considering a partnership in Berkshire, within South East, can discuss their room, timetable and instrument preferences with us.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Berkshire depends on that school and its funding, not on who asks first. Ask and we will tell you what is available at yours.
Prices chosen by the school
Each school chooses its lesson price. After teacher pay, programme operating costs and job-advertising costs, MML pays 50% of the remaining lesson income directly into the school’s account each month. See school prices and monthly payouts ↗.
Family lesson payments
Parents contract with My Music Lessons and pay us directly at the price their school chooses. See pricing and monthly payouts ↗.
