We use Charanga Musical School online programme and Musician of the Month from Reception as a basis for our weekly music lessons to ensure high quality, enjoyable music provision with clear curriculum coverage across all year groups. The learning within each scheme is based on: Listening and Appraising; Musical Activities – creating and exploring; and Singing and Performing.

Our children in KS1 and KS2 have a dedicated music lesson with a specialist teacher once a week. Next to the discreet music lessons, singing and other musical activities are used to enrich subjects and other parts of the curriculum.

Assemblies and plays will also provide an opportunity to practise singing. Pupils will be offered the opportunity to be taught to play a variety of instruments through individual peripatetic music lessons.

Through our newly planned expression weeks each term we encourage listening to a wide range of music genres which helps to build the children’s knowledge of cultural capital developing a rich understanding of how that enlivens musical identity.
