Music is a subject that all children can participate in and enjoy. Sharing musical experiences enhances children’s abilities to develop their imagination, listen attentively and express personal thoughts and feelings. Our intent is to provide an exciting and varied musical experience for all of our children. We aim to encourage the development of a life-long love of music, giving them the opportunities to create, play and perform music through a variety of experiences. This not only develops their talent as musicians, but also increases their self-confidence, creativity and resilience, as well as encouraging collaboration and a strong sense of achievement. 

We use the Sparkyard Music Curriculum for this subject area. This provides teachers with a clear sequence of musical activities to use in the classroom. With fabulous Out of the Ark songs at its heart, it uses a skills-based approach where key musical concepts and themes are developed and revisited across the year groups, building on knowledge and understanding at every stage.
