Dear James Has anyone contacted you about the threatened closure of STAX Saturday Morning Music School, run by Southwark Music Service? This marvellous facility, which has just been ofsteded as outstanding is apparently going to lose its funding. Parents of children who attend the school have been asked to contact their local councillors to see if you can do anything to keep the Music School going. The school provides subsidised tuition to primary school aged children living in the borough of Southwark and teaches a wide range of brass, string and keyboard instruments as well as drumming, composing and singing. When opportunities to learn instruments in school is limited (my son has been on his school's waiting list for three years), STAX fills the gap. Moreover, children learn in their own time, so are not taken out of class for tuition, missing lessons. Please, please, please can you work your wonders to keep STAX open!!!
