The Schools Together Group, which is supported by the Independent Schools Council and highlights partnership work between independent and maintained schools, has released the first in a series of publications showcasing successful music partnership work. This publication includes two projects based at King Edward’s School and King Edward VI High School for Girls: Romany Wood, and our Swing Band Tours.

This series of publications focuses on music partnerships, and aims to set out a series of case studies that might help Directors of Music and Partnership Co-ordinators in state and independent schools to learn from better practice in devising music partnership projects.
