Decision: DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST MADE FOR THIS ITEM:
None
RESOLVED:
That the Cabinet Member for Children and Schools:
1.Approved acceptance of £1,702,986 revenue grant funding from Arts Council England on behalf of the Department for Education for delivery of the North London Music Hub during the 2026/27 financial year.
2. Approved Haringey Council continuing in its role as Hub Lead Organisation for the North London Music Hub.
3. Approved the onward distribution of grant funding to consortium partners in accordance with the Department for Education Music Hub funding methodology and agreed partnership arrangements.
4. Approved retention of a 3.75% management contribution to support the administration, governance, monitoring, reporting and strategic leadership responsibilities of the Hub Lead Organisation
5. Delegated authority to the Director of Children's Services, in consultation with the Director of Finance and Director of Legal and Governance, to enter into and administer all grant and partnership agreements necessary for implementation of the North London Music Hub
Reasons for decision
1. The grant funding will enable the North London Music Hub to continue delivering high-quality music education opportunities to children and young people across Haringey, Barnet, Camden, Enfield and Islington. The funding supports the delivery of the National Plan for Music Education and enables the Council to fulfil its responsibilities as the Hub Lead Organisation. Failure to accept the funding would significantly reduce music education opportunities available to schools, children and young people across the five boroughs and would jeopardise delivery of nationally funded Music Hub activity. 2. This links to aspirations with the culture strategy and London Borough of Culture 2027 project.
Top slicing:
Table 1 below shows the names of the Local Authority areas (consortium partners) that make up the North London Music Hub. Column two is the total value of each partners music hub grant, and column three is the contribution in pounds at 3.75% of the Music Hub grant. Including Haringey’s contribution as a consortium member this totals £1,702,986.00 for 2026 / 2027. Column four shows the amount that will be sent to consortium partners to undertake activity in their area.
1.The above top slice although relatively low in terms of contract management is a workable figure, considering the consortium nature of the North London Music Hub partnership.
2. The 3.75% management contribution has been agreed by consortium partners and has been reviewed for the 2026/27 academic year. The management contribution supports:
• Strategic leadership of the North London Music Hub.
• Financial administration and grant management. • Contract and performance monitoring.
• Arts Council England reporting requirements.
• Music Hub Board administration.
• Partnership coordination and communications.
• Audit, compliance and governance activities.
The contribution is considered proportionate to the responsibilities of the Hub Lead Organisation and represents value for money for consortium partners.
3. It remains extremely unlikely that Haringey Council as the Hub Lead Organisation would incur any additional expenditure, which is outside of the top slice contribution.
4. Amounts to fund consortium partners (column four), will be sent in five payments upon ... view the full decision text for item 6. |
