‘Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity’ (The National Curriculum)

At Sandal Primary School, our music curriculum intends to inspire creativity, self-expression and encourages our children on their musical journeys as well as giving them opportunities to connect with others. We believe that every child should have the opportunity to develop their musical potential and we aim to nurture and encourage musical development across the school. We hope to foster a lifelong love of music by exposing them to diverse musical experiences and igniting a passion for music.

Our children will be taught Music in a way that ensures progression of skills, and follows a sequence to build on previous learning. They will gain experience and skills of a wide range of dimensions of music in a way that will enhance their learning opportunities, enabling them to use music in a wide variety of contexts, ensuring they make progress. By listening and responding to different musical styles, finding their voices as singers and performers and as composers, all will enable them to become confident, reflective musicians.
