Data
Please note that if you have requested a workshop, a member of our team will follow up to ask you how many students on your music or drama courses are eligible for FSM, are Pupil Premium and are from ethnically diverse backgrounds. We collect this data in line with our Access and Participation plan. We specifically want to encourage students who come from low participation or ethnically diverse backgrounds to access music or drama education by increasing our engagement with these groups of students. Any data submitted to us will be treated confidentially. Data will be used for prioritisation of workshop requests, as well as being included in internal and external reporting, including to bodies such as the Office for Students only. If you have any questions regarding how we use this data, please contact access@lcm.ac.uk
