Music
Music plays a major part in the life of our school and children participate in a variety of musical activities as part of the curriculum, including singing, percussion and recorder playing. The music curriculum gives children opportunities to listen to music, appraise, improvise, compose and perform. Music is taught by a specialist teacher in KS2 and all children are given the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument. Through their participation in assemblies, masses and concerts, children are able to demonstrate their skills to live audiences with growing confidence.
