LSMS Update July 2020
Following the DfE guidance for the full opening of schools released earlier this week, we wanted to let you know that we are looking at this in more detail and working through what this means to us, schools and students as part of our ongoing recovery planning.
As soon as we have more information about what this means we will advise schools in the regular updates we will be sending from this point onwards.
The DfE guidance for the full opening of schools in September can be found here.
Please also see the current Music Mark Guidance for Schools, which we are working with until updated guidance is available.
