LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge, Peterborough and Huntingdon, 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 Cambridgeshire provide
Schools can ask to expand their music provision. We assess requests for more time while keeping the agreed lessons in place.
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
- Before teaching begins, we complete enhanced DBS, identity and reference checks and safeguarding training. Evidence is available on request.
- A page for your school
- Families apply through a dedicated page for your school, with the lesson information they need to get started.
- The running of it
- Our team handles attendance records, billing and family enquiries, including requests to change lessons.
Yours to provide
- A room and a slot
- Provide a suitable room and agree a rotating lesson time with us to help children avoid repeatedly missing the same subject.
- One person to ask
- Choose a school contact who can help with practical questions about rooms, dates and timetable changes.
Headteachers and music leads in Cambridgeshire can ask to review teacher check records and talk through the practical arrangements for their school.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Cambridgeshire 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 ↗.
