Music Leaders Network – thank you!
A huge thank you to everyone who joined our first LMEH Music Leaders Network meeting of 2026/27 today. It was lovely to see so many Music Leaders from across Lincolnshire coming together and contributing to the conversation.
We covered a lot — from the National Centre for Arts Education and the Inclusive Mainstream Fund, to Ofsted, the new Enrichment Framework, cultural education and opportunities for music. Most importantly, there was lots of thoughtful discussion, shared learning and ideas to take back into our schools.
Let’s keep the conversations going, share what’s working, ask questions and learn from one another.
If today has sparked an idea or given you something you’d like to explore further, take a look at the CPD and events programme and come along to one of our upcoming opportunities. There are lots of ways to connect, develop your practice and work alongside colleagues across the county.
Thank you for being part of it — we look forward to continuing to work together in 2026/27!
