Music

Intent:

Through our music curriculum we want children to:

  • Develop an appreciation for music
  • Experience and interact with different genres of music
  • Develop skills in a variety of musical concepts (e.g. rhythm and pitch)
  • Develop their singing
  • Perform in a variety of contexts

Implementation:

  • Music is taught once a week in all year groups
  • We follow the Charanga Programme (in line with the National Curriculum)
  • Each term we have a ‘genre’ lesson which allows the children to experience a different genre of music
  • We have weekly singing collective worship
  • Each year group has a performance opportunity (e.g. the Carol Service, Year 6 Show)
