The Department for Education register records 301 primary schools in and around Birmingham. The local listings include Ward End Primary School. Browse the register below and name the school when asking about provision.

WHAT EACH SIDE DOES

What we bring, and what schools in Birmingham provide

Schools can ask to expand their music provision. We assess requests for more time while keeping the agreed lessons in place.

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
We manage registers, practice notes, invoices and messages to families. Parents can contact us directly with lesson questions.

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.

For a school in Birmingham, West Midlands, the next step is to discuss the space, timetable and teaching options that would suit its pupils.

WHO PAYS, AND WHEN

Who pays for a place

A place has one payer and never two. Which one applies at a school in Birmingham 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 ↗.
