The lesson (IMHO) of the 'Don't Stop The Music' programmes was that while cost was an issue, the main problem was the squeezing out of music and other subjects through pressure of numeracy and literacy time. Our own local primary school used to do country dancing, (we used to go and help organise this) and take part in the local festival with other schools, but the Head Teacher stopped it, as she could not risk any curriculum time being diverted away. Very sad!
