EMI Music Sound Foundation is the largest sponsor for Specialist Performing Arts Colleges in the UK. With the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust, we have successfully sponsored 30 schools to become Performing Arts colleges. We are the major sponsor in every case and still remain the largest single schools sponsor in this sector. The Foundation has now extended its sponsorship to Music Colleges as part of its ongoing support for specialist schools.

We are delighted to have helped so many schools achieve this significant change and we maintain a constant interest in all the schools. All enquiries for EMI Music Sound Foundation sponsorship must be made through the Specialist Schools and Academies Trust (Bidding Support Department 0207 802 2300) in the first instance, as initial recommendations are taken from them.
