Music

Music bypasses barriers to speak directly to the heart, unlocking a universal language where every voice, rhythm and emotion finds its place to shine.

Our Music curriculum intent is to break down barriers to communication, learning and self-expression through a multi-sensory, highly inclusive approach. We believe music is a universal language and a powerful therapeutic tool that enables every child to explore, connect and influence the world around them.

Children are provided with a wide range of musical experiences, allowing them to express themselves creatively and skilfully. Children listen to, perform and review music of different styles and cultures. They learn to sing, create and compose music on their own and with others, as well as learning simple musical notation.

Music is supported and taught in classes by a specialist teacher and a wide variety of performance opportunities are provided. Each Christmas and summer there is a school production, a “signing choir” and in addition there are individual music lessons to emotionally support some of our more vulnerable pupils.
