Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. The Primary National Curriculum Framework 2014

Intent

Our curriculum is designed to help pupils understand and explore how music is created and to develop enjoyment in listening and creating music. Pupils are also given the opportunity to learn a tuned instrument – ukulele – for themselves, reading music and performing in front of others.

Implementation

Weekly music lessons are delivered by specialist music teachers. Instruments, such as ukuleles, are provided for pupils to use. Some music tuition i.e. piano lessons, is provided via Herts Music Service, and many pupils enjoy playing in the Rocksteady rock bands. Musical performances at Christmas and at the end of the summer term provide all children with an opportunity to perform to an audience.
