WARRINGTON Schools’ Arts and Culture Service has something to sing about after being recognised by the National Music Council.
The team was given an honourable mention for their range of “exciting and impressive programmes”.
Local authority music education awards are held every year to recognise local authorities for their music education provision.
The panel of judges said: “Warrington continues to impress with an imaginative and strong use of a very limited budget. Their range of exciting and impressive programmes, with considerable diversity in evidence, should be the envy of many a better-resourced authority.”
The panel specially commended the team for the value for money it provides.
Cllr Sheila Woodyatt, the borough council’s executive member for education and young people, said: “I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Schools’ Arts and Culture Service. They work incredibly hard and I am pleased to see their efforts rewarded.”
Since the awards one of the judges has been in touch and offered to pay for a music course which will develop the skills of teachers who work with looked after children.
Something to sing about!
