Music at Flushing CE Primary School
Intent:
At Flushing CE Primary School, we understand how pivotal music can be in a child’s development. Due to this, we ensure that Music as a subject is treated with importance and delivered regularly as part of our normal practice. Our main intent at Flushing CE Primary School is to build a Music curriculum that develops learning and promotes a love of Music.
Implementation:
In order to achieve this intent, we ensure that we:
- Encourage children to appreciate, compose, record and perform music
- Ensure all children are given the opportunity to excel in Music
- Music is taught by the class teacher regularly throughout the academic year
- Teachers to feel confident in delivering Music lessons with our scheme (Charanga)
- Music is to be assessed during lessons and after performances/completion of units.
Impact:
The impact of this will be, that children will achieve age related expectations by the end of their year. Children will be able to retain and build on their prior knowledge as they move through the school. By emphasising the importance of Music, all children will have the opportunity to learn and multiple chances to perform for audiences. Our teaching of Music may uncover some children who have a flair or interest in learning an instrument that they might not have realised otherwise.
Through our partnership with the Cornwall Music Service, our children have the opportunity to learn, guitar, piano, violin and how to play the drums.
We also attend and participate in local festivals and singing shows such as Sing Up every year.
