Music
Music is taught throughout the school and the school has a wide range of instruments and resources to support the delivery of this subject.
At Key Stage 1 and 2 the emphasis is on practical, fun music in groups that helps communication and social skills develop.
Some lessons during Key Stage 3 may take the form of Guided Music and Imagery sessions, a receptive form of music therapy that can help improve listening skills, encourage relaxation and help students to express their feelings.
Later, pupils follow a pop music module and start to learn how to use a simple four track recording machine.
At Key Stage 4 music is taught as part of a two-year Expressive Arts course including dance and drama. The emphasis is on developing practical skills and pupils work towards gaining Assessment and Qualifications Alliance [AQA] unit awards in each discipline.
