Description
In 2011 the Government asked Darren Henley to carry out a review of cultural education in order to realise its ambition for every child to have the chance to experience a wide variety of high quality cultural experiences. The Government also asked the following questions: What cultural experiences should be included? How can cultural organisations create an offer which fulfils the needs of schools to provide a broad and truly rounded education for their students? How can it be ensured that all opportunities are as good as the best?

In its response to the Review, the Government says it will develop a National Plan for Cultural Education in consultation with key partners. This will set out the Government’s aspirations and priorities in this area. The Department for Education is also making £15 million available over the next three years to ensure that all pupils can engage in a variety of cultural activities of the highest quality.
