Minutes:

The Head of Music Services introduced the report. He explained that the report recommended accepting grant funding for the service.

 

It was stressed there was a positive working relationship between managers and the hub.

 

RESOLVED:

 

That the Cabinet Member for Children, Schools and Families:

 

  1. Approved acceptance of the grant funding set out in this report (£1,718,403) from Arts Council England (ACE) as part of the Music Hub investment programme as permitted by Contract Standing Order 21.01 where the grant is valued at £500,000 or more.

  2. Agreed that LBH will administer the funding to consortium members taking a top slice of 3.75% for the administration of the North London Music Hub from Consortium members namely, Barnet Education Arts Trust, Camden Music, Enfield Music Service and Music Education Islington.

  3. Agreed that HMS will continue to be the Hub Lead Organisation using a flow through model of grant funding to consortium members as per the suggested Department for Education funding formula. Each Hub Lead Organisation will receive a proportion of the overall Music Hubs programme funding amount based on the number of eligible pupils in each Local Authority area that the Music Hub serves. Ninety percent of the funding is distributed based on the total number of pupils registered on roll. Ten percent of the budget is allocated according to the Hubs’ share of the total number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals. This recognises that these pupils will need greater support from Hubs than others in order to take up certain musical opportunities. 

  4. Agreed the timely mechanism of receiving the Music Hub grant from ACE and payment to consortium members.
