Art, Music and Design Technology

We value our children having opportunities to develop and demonstrate their creativity, whilst exploring the breadth and depth of the national curriculum. Through established and meaningful links with professionals both inside and outside of our school, we hope that our children will foster lifelong skills, confidence and passion within the creative arts and understand how every day and exceptional creativity can shape the world.

Music

 

Our music curriculum has been taken from the Leicestershire Music Service approved curriculum and is in line with NC requirements. We have worked in consultation with the Music Hub to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of our school and provide a broad and balanced curriculum.

Percussion Focus

Pupils in Class 3 receive specialist music teaching from the Music Hub; on alternate years their music curriculum is delivered through weekly sessions in djembe drums and steel pans. Our aim is that pupils in EYFS and KS1 will have a strong understanding of percussion before starting their specialist teaching. 

Pupils have opportunities to explore and engage with a wide range of musical genres, instruments and concepts through our music curriculum.
