‘Music Mark is excited to launch the Music Mark of Recognition for Schools: a way for schools to receive recognition from their local music service for their provision and steps they are taking to improve their music education, with a certificate and logo to display.’

If your school would like to to be recognised for your music provision and receive the Music Mark of Recognition you will need to meet the Music Mark criteria set out below. There are two categories and you may think you meet both categories, but please nominate your school for ONE of the two.

To qualify for these awards you must be engaging with one of Severn Arts offers - music tuition, events, Charanga etc.
