Peripatetic music teachers in Buxton

Our teachers travel to schools across Buxton on a fixed weekly round, which is what makes cover possible when one of them is ill - the school is never left with an empty room.

Teachers, instruments and cover

We staff the lessons and cover them when somebody is ill. Your school does not find a replacement.

Inside the school day

A room and a rotating slot. Groups of one to twenty-one, in term time, so the same subject is never missed twice.

Safeguarding and records held by us

Checks, registers, practice notes and evidence, kept by us and available to your team whenever you ask.

Two payers, and never both

A place is funded by the school or paid for by the family, never part of each. Many schools fund a set number of places and the other families pay. Which applies depends on the school, not on who asks first.

WHO PAYS, AND WHEN

Who pays for a place

A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Buxton depends on that school and its funding, not on who asks first. Ask and we will tell you what is available at yours.

  • Funded places available

    A school funds a number of places, so those children pay nothing. How many depends on the school and its funding.

  • Family-paid places

    A flat monthly plan, the same every month, with missed lessons made up rather than refunded.

School names and roll are from the Department for Education’s Get Information about Schools register, used under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Roll is rounded, because it is a census count that moves every September.
