Hubs are coordinated by the Hub lead organisation, which takes on responsibility for the funding and governance of the Hub. The total amount of Hub funding from the Department for Education in the 2021-22 financial year is confirmed as £76,105,440, continuing at the same level as in 2020-21. In recognition of cost pressures facing Hubs the DfE will provide further funding to support Hubs making teacher pension scheme payments. TEXT You can download details of the funding allocations for Music Education Hubs in 2021-22, their contact information and our relationship framework below. Each Hub lead organisation will receive a proportion of the overall funding amount based on their share of the overall number of eligible pupils in their local authority area(s). 90% of the funding is distributed based on each local authority’s share of the total number of pupils registered on roll and the remaining 10% is distributed based on their share of the numbers of pupils eligible for Free School Meals (FSM). Since 2013 we have published Hub performance data and analysis. The reports can be downloaded from the Hubs Survey page. Access to DfE Teacher Pension Scheme Funds for Music Education Hubs During 2021-22 Local Authorities continue to receive pension funding for centrally employed teachers (CETs), and Music Education Hubs that are not part of a local authority continue receiving funding for their directly employed teachers, based on the information they submitted on the total cost of the increase for their teachers in academic year 2019 to 2020. Guidance from the DfE is published on its website here and should be used for Hub lead organisations based in a local authority. For Music Education Hubs where the lead organisation is not part of a local authority and that employ teachers directly who pay into the TPS, they were asked to submit evidence to DfE during 2019-20. This was used to determine the funding due to their organisation. In recognition of the continuing pressures on these Hubs, the same level of funding will be provided via the Arts Council to these organisations during 2021-22. The Department for Education is not able to consider any new claims for reimbursement nor variations to existing allocations.
