Music

Music lessons across the federation are planned by a specialist music teacher. Music lessons from Nursery to Year 2, are delivered by class teachers every week, with the support of Mrs Ansell, our music teacher. Mrs Ansell delivers one hour music lessons to children in years 3, 4, 5 and 6 once a fortnight. Music supports children to build on a variety of skills, and lessons cover composing, understanding, music analysis and performing. Children have the opportunity to learn various instruments throughout their journey, including Recorder, Keyboard and Ukulele across a range of genres. Please see the music curriculum plan for more information.
We also offer extra-curricular activities, including participating in Young Voices concerts (from year 3 upwards), holding music sharing assemblies and whole-school music workshops.
