Music Teacher of the Year Winner !

We are delighted to announce that our Head of the Arts, Adam Bell has won the 2026 Classic FM Music Teacher of the Year Award in the SEND category.

Mr Bell has had a transformational impact on the Arts and in particular the music provision at Springwell Leeds, helping our children and young people discover their passion and talent for music and supporting them to become musicians.

Mr Bell’s work leading the Arts has meant that many students have been able to access one to one music tuition, take part in school performances, perform to the public in professional music venues and even tour and play in Italy.

Congratulations to Mr Bell who will head down to London next month to receive this prestigious Award at the Royal Albert Hall no less !
