Music is taught throughout the school and the school has a wide range of instruments and resources to support the delivery of this subject. A recent addition to the music room is an interactive whiteboard to enable pupils to access ICT based music.
At Key Stage 1 and 2 the emphasis is on practical, fun music in groups that helps communication and interaction as well as developing both listening and social skills.
Pupils at Key Stage 3 make use of the wide variety of percussion instruments in the music room and produce class performances which incorporate different rhythms, tempo and dynamics. They also begin to learn to read musical notation, use keyboards and listen and learn about music genres from countries.
The school choir is thriving and rehearsals take place after lunch on Mondays and some Fridays. As well as singing in the school productions, the choir also sing at different venues in the local community and sometimes further afield. The school has recently been awarded the Gold Sing-up award for excellent singing throughout the school.
