🎶 Great news for music education in Cardiff and the Vale

The Welsh Government has confirmed continued funding for the National Music Service for the next three years — securing a bright future for young people to access high-quality music education across our region.

Thanks to this investment, over 18,500 children in more than 150 schools have already taken part in musical experiences ranging from GarageBand to harps, woodwind and trombones.

Cardiff and Vale Music Education, the lead organisation for delivering the National Plan for Music Education locally, has used the funding to:

✅ Strengthen relationships with schools
✅ Reach more children, especially in underrepresented areas
✅ Offer live music experiences for 17,000+ learners
✅ Deliver inclusive projects for pupils with additional needs
✅ Support teachers with professional learning
✅ Launch creative initiatives like Little Gigs with Cardiff Council🎤

Cllr Sarah Merry, Cardiff’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Education, said:

“This continued investment is a powerful endorsement of the transformative role music plays in young people’s lives. It allows us to build on our successes, broaden access, and ensure that every child has the opportunity to discover their musical voice.”

🏊‍♂️💦 More kids in Cardiff are making a splash!

Since launching Nofio Ysgol Caerdydd last September, school swimming participation has jumped from 57% to 74% – with over 2,250 pupils diving into lessons before the school year ends!

Thanks to local partnerships, smarter planning, and the new AquaClusters model, swimming is now more accessible in Cardiff, better organised, and focused on water safety – helping every child become a confident swimmer. 🏅🌊

This is just the beginning – the pilot is expanding in 2025/26!

Let’s keep swimming forward so no child gets left behind.
