Music Curriculum

Music Curriculum Intent

In music, we understand that all students are unique and therefore we allow our young musicians to express themselves independently. The pathway designed for them meets their individual needs, is challenging and created to inspire them. Students have the chance to work independently, in small groups and large ensembles and we expect that in each lesson students strive for excellence. 

Learning in music lessons can be transferred to other subjects and even the pupils daily life; how to achieve with goal setting, self-confidence, creativity, interaction with and awareness of others and self-reflection. The music they undertake also develops their understanding of culture and history as well as ethnicities from around the world.

All our students are prepared for GCSE music through performance, composition and music theory including music analysis.
