Music

Intent

Music is an important contribution to the life of our school and should be celebrated, promoted and encouraged. Music is a unique way of communicating and is a vehicle for personal expression, and it can play an important part in one’s personal development.

 

                

 

Implementation

A high quality music curriculum is provided throughout the school.

 

Teaching and Learning

Our school follows the programmes of study as set out in the National Curriculum which aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • Learn through the three golden threads of: composing and improvising, performance and singing, listening and appraising.
  • Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians.
  • Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated.
  • Participate in performances for family members and peers. 

 

Early Years Foundation Stage

Regular musical activity can help support children’s acquisition of language and communication. It can aid their personal and social development, their physical agility, well-being, imagination and creativity. Musical opportunities will happen throughout the day - in short dedicated music sessions, cross curriculuar opportunities, and through continuous provision. 

 

Extra Curricular Music

We have a KS1 choir and KS2 Musical Theatre club. All children in KS1 and KS2 are entitled to join extra-curricular music lessons. Currently, we have peripatetic teachers teaching woodwind, strings, keyboard and guitar. Lessons and vacancies are shared on the school newsletter along with information for PP children and how children can borrow instruments free of charge.

 

Impact

The children at Stratton Primary School will experience a broad variety of musical performances from different cultures, opportunities to learn a variety of instruments and develop their knowledge and skills of reading and understanding musical pieces.

 

Over their time at Stratton Primary School, our pupils will be given the skills, opportunities and knowledge to understand the impact that music can have on all our lives and all cultures, including the Cornish culture, and how it can play an integral role in our emotional wellbeing.
