An Important Update About SAMS and Our Next Chapter
Dear SAMS Families,
We’re writing with an important update about SAMS (Sensory Arts and Music School).
After much thought, we’ve made the difficult decision to close SAMS from 1st February 2026. This is a sad moment for us, but it is not the end of the journey — it’s a new chapter.
From February onwards, all lessons and bookings will move over to Staffordshire Music Hub. The good news is that everything will continue in a very familiar way:
All bookings will be made via www.staffordshiremusichub.com
Lessons will be booked in the same way as before
Your teachers are moving across with us, so there’s no need to worry about continuity
Most importantly, the values, care, and passion that defined SAMS will continue through Staffordshire Music Hub.
We also want to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to each and every one of you. Over the past two years, SAMS has been supported by an incredible community of families, students, and teachers. Your trust, encouragement, and belief in what we were building has meant more than we can put into words.
While it’s sad to say goodbye to SAMS as a name, we’re excited to continue supporting our students’ musical journeys under Staffordshire Music Hub, and we truly hope you’ll continue with us.
If you have any questions at all about the transition, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
With heartfelt thanks,
The SAMS Team
Moving forward as Staffordshire Music Hub
