Music
Our Music curriculum encourages pupils to take part in a wide range of experiences, listening to and responding to music from across different times and genres. Pupils have the opportunity to play instruments, sing, listen and appraise, compose and perform during each term. In addition to this, all pupils learn to play recorders or glockenspiels in Year 2/3 and in the Year 4/5 class all pupils learn a musical instrument as part of a wind band (The Wider Opportunities Programme WOPs / Whole Class Instrumental Teaching WCIT). Year 5/6 are currently taking part in a Vocal Studies taught by Stonyhurst's Choral Master.
As well as Music learnt in the Curriculum, pupils also have opportunity to participate in individual music lessons. Several of our pupils have taken graded examinations over the past year.
We are also offering pupils the opportunity to experience being in a 'Rock Band' through the Rock Steady programme this year.
Music Lessons
Many of our KS1 + KS2 children enjoy learning a musical instrument with our peripatetic teachers.

Music Clubs

We are also excited to launch our afterschool Samba Band this year.
