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. Music progression and achievement is celebrated at the end of each term with a music concert.
We use the 2014 National Curriculum Music planning document as well as other resources for planning and teaching.
