A former director at the Royal Opera House and professional ballerina will chair an expert advisory panel tasked with drawing up a new cultural education plan.
Baroness Deborah Bull will help lead the project, which was announced in the schools white paper in March to help support children into creative jobs.
The plan aims to highlight the “importance of high-quality cultural education” in schools, support career pathways and address skills gaps and disparities in opportunities and outcomes for children.
The government will work with Arts Council England, the British Film Institute, Historic England and National Lottery Heritage Fund on the project. The plan will be published in 2023.
