Music
Overview
Our music curriculum helps children develop confidence, creativity and enjoyment in making music. Pupils explore rhythm, pitch, notation and musical expression while learning to appreciate a range of musical traditions and styles.
Music
Inspiring children to express themselves through singing, performance and musical creativity.
How we teach
Music is taught by specialist music teachers, ensuring high-quality progression from early years to Year 6. Children learn through singing, instrumental work, listening and composition. All pupils in Key Stage 2 receive whole-class instrumental lessons, giving them the opportunity to perform, improvise and develop musical understanding.
Impact
By the end of Year 6, pupils can read basic notation, keep a steady pulse, perform with confidence and talk about musical elements using the correct vocabulary. They understand how music conveys mood and ideas and can work creatively with others to compose and refine musical pieces.
How you can help at home
Encourage your child to sing, listen to a range of music or explore simple instruments at home. Talk about the sounds they notice, rhythms they hear and how music makes them feel. Share your own favourite songs or playlists.
