LOCAL SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS
Planning provision across the county
Start with a town page to find the local school register. Schools across Surrey, including Guildford, Woking and Epsom, 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 Surrey provide
If your school needs more lesson time, we can discuss the options. The current agreement remains in place until a new arrangement is agreed.
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
- 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
- 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
- A named member of staff helps us keep lessons organised when a room, school event or teaching date changes.
This page lists 9 towns and cities in Surrey. Schools can use the partnership details above to prepare for an initial discussion.
WHO PAYS, AND WHEN
Who pays for a place
A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Surrey 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 ↗.
