Three Pillars of our Curriculum
Live Wisely
- When learning an instrument, learning a new song, performing or composing, children show commitment and resilience in their work.
- Children take up new instruments in school and practise at home, inspired by role-models in school.
Think Deeply
- Children learn about key song words from the Bible and how these are represented in Hymn books and songs we sing for worship today.
- Children are given many, wide-ranging opportunities to find out about new instruments, read books about composers and experience life performances, both in school and with professional musicians.
- In the curriculum, we give exciting opportunities to compose, perform, evaluate and listen to a wide-range of historical and contemporary music.
- Listen to a range of music and discuss authorial intent. Talking partners to evaluate music, open opportunities to discuss and enjoy music.
Love Generously
- Live out the values when sharing, singing and praising in class, on the playground and in assemblies.
- We find out about musicians and composers from many walks of life, representing all sectors of society and every race and gender.
DISCOVERY values
Resilience
Children learn how playing an instrument or singing helps them to cope better with all the other aspects of their learning, building confidence and resilience
Underpinned by a desire to Serve God in all we do.
