Our Music Curriculum

At our school, we aim to foster a lifelong love of music by providing a rich, varied, and inclusive musical education. Through classroom teaching, collective singing, and targeted instrumental opportunities, our pupils develop into confident performers, creators, and listeners.

The Kapow Music Scheme

In our weekly music lessons, we follow the Kapow Programme. This holistic curriculum combines the core strands of performing, listening, composing, and music history. Through highly engaging, cross-curricular themes, children learn to sing expressively, use technical musical vocabulary, and read notation. Our Year 3 and 4 recorder lessons are woven seamlessly into this framework, giving every child a strong foundation in pitch, rhythm, and ensemble playing.

Singing Assemblies

Singing is at the heart of our school community. Our regular Singing Assemblies bring the whole school together to experience the joy of collective music-making. These sessions focus on building healthy vocal technique, exploring diverse musical genres, and developing a shared sense of harmony and pride. Singing together helps boost our pupils' confidence, well-being, and community spirit.

Peripatetic (Peri) Lessons

For children who wish to take their musical interests further, we offer fantastic opportunities for peripatetic (peri) instrumental lessons. Led by experienced visiting specialists, these small-group or one-to-one sessions allow pupils to learn a specific instrument in greater depth during the school day. Whether your child wants to learn woodwind, brass, strings, percussion, or vocals, our peri lessons provide the perfect next step to build upon the foundations laid in their classroom recorder sessions.
