Devastated to share the news that was broken to colleagues in Music (and other departments) at the University of Nottingham yesterday. This is obviously a very difficult time for us and our students.
Please contact us on protectuonmusic@gmail.com if you would like to be involved.

Interested in these replies. Older kiddo is 7 and HP is still very much liked & engaged with by their mates at school, & one of the ways in which they find it easy to socialise is to get into something (Pokemon, Kpop Demon Hunters) and chat about it non stop
has anyone with kids got any thoughts on navigating the Harry Potter issue
