The school will offer subsidies for the following students/instruments: 

• Orchestral instruments (brass, woodwind, orchestral strings) 
• Students who are studying A Level or GCSE music 
• Students who are eligible for pupil premium/ free school meals 

All remaining students/ instruments will continue to be taught by a qualified, experienced teacher, but will receive no subsidy. 

Music lesson Fees: 

• non-subsidised music lessons will be £154 a term for eleven 20-minute individual lessons (for piano, jazz piano, drums, guitar and singing).  
• Orchestral music lessons will be £108 a term for eleven 20-minute individual lessons 
• GCSE music students’ lessons will be £108 a term for eleven 20-minute individual lessons 
• A level music students’ lessons will be £108 a term for eleven 30-minute individual lessons 

• Music lessons will be fully funded for children eligible for pupil premium and Sixth Form Bursary students. 

For students eligible for a subsidy, please note the following stipulations: 

• Only one subsidy is available per student 
• Students receiving a subsidy will be expected to regularly attend one of the extra-curricular music clubs on offer in school as a condition of this. Non-attendance will result in a loss of subsidy and therefore lessons will be charged at full price.  

Once your child is allocated a place you will receive an invoice at the start of term. Lessons are delivered during term time on a rotational basis and take place during the hours of a normal school day. We require half a term’s notice for cancellation of lessons. 

Priority is given to students who are already taking lessons and wish to continue. After this, new applicants are allocated lessons on a first come first served basis. Any pupils who cannot be timetabled for lessons will immediately be placed on a waiting list. 

If you need to hire an instrument, Norfolk Music Service may be able to provide your child with one free of charge, subject to availability. You will however be responsible for the maintenance of the instrument. Please refer to the school's Peripatetic Music Instrument Policy.
