November 06, 2025

Ed Sheeran has taken partial credit for an overhaul of musiceducation in England's state schools, shortly after being namechecked by the education secretary in parliament.

- Richard Adams Nadia Khomami

The Department for Education said it wanted to broaden the appeal of music education “to give every child a strong start in the subject” and boost the number of creative subjects taken at GCSE level.

The proposals were applauded by the arts sector at large, with Sheeran - who has 14 UK No 1 singles to his name - using social media to highlight the open letter he sent to Keir Starmer in January.
