“Our vision is to provide a world class music education for all young people and support them to become their very best.” – Our Lady of Lourdes Music Service
Teaching music in our school follows the aims of the National Curriculum. We want children to experience music by way of practical engagement in performing, composing and appraising. Singing and work with rhythm play an important part in the development of musical skills. All children have opportunities to sing within lessons, in weekly singing assemblies and in musical production.
We use the 2014 National Curriculum Music planning document as well as other resources for planning and teaching.

We use the Our Lady of Lourdes Music Hub to teach our Music Curriculum. Children in Years 1- Year 6 learn to play instruments such as Toots and Glokenspeils.
Tuition in various instruments is provided by peripatetic teachers. Parents are actively encouraged to apply for tuition when their child is considered old enough. There is a termly charge for instrumental tuition which is payable in advance.
