Inequalities in music education that Ofsted first highlighted more than a decade ago persist, the watchdog has said, while some secondaries are not giving the subject enough time.
The findings form part of the watchdog’s latest subject report, which delivers the strengths and weaknesses of how music is taught in schools.
Evidence was gathered by inspectors who specialise in music from research visits carried out between December and June. His Majesty’s Inspectors also gathered evidence as part of routine inspections.
The report builds on Ofsted’s 2021 music research review.
