Enrichment and enhancement
Through our music curriculum, we o11er all learners the opportunity to perform. This takes many forms, from services and 42ts of worship involving parents to singing for the Friendship Club at the Village Hall. We also take part in large scale concerts and performances such as Northwich Sings and Young Voices. Children have the opportunity to learn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through learning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also o11er children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with specialist te42hers.
Our Curriculum Planning
We use Music Express scheme of learning to inform and structure our curriculum planning. We link this to our progression of skills document to ensure our te42hing is progressive and builds on prior learning. We endeavour to make links with other subject areas where these can be e11ective and meaningful.
