Wider Opportunities Instrument Fund 2008-9
Latest News on Delivery Dates

Primary schools which have placed orders for instruments for KS2 Wider Opportunities projects can find details of the latest estimated delivery dates from suppliers by clicking HERE.
 
There is a huge national demand for instruments as a result of the new funding being made available to all Local Authorities but we, and the suppliers, are working hard to get the instruments delivered directly to Kent schools as quickly as possible. 10,000 instruments were distributed to schools between January and July and this means thousands more Kent pupils having the chance to learn an instrument!
