Music
- We have many opportunities for the children to experience music in school.
- Each class has a music lesson weekly or every other week. Within these lessons the children sing, compose and perform as well as listen and appraise music.
- There is a singing practice every other week in which the whole school participates.
- Every week three peripatetic teachers visit the school to teach instrumental lessons to children in KS 2, these are woodwind, strings, brass and percussion.
- All the children in year 5 have a weekly guitar lesson through our wider opportunities programme.
- Concerts are held at Christmas for all the Key Stages for parents to watch. We also invite parents to join in other special assemblies – Harvest Festival and Easter.
- Towards the end of the Summer term Year 6 give a performance to the rest of the school and Year 6 parents. The children organise most of the rehearsals, costumes and props needed for the performance.
- Other extra curricular activities include a school choir in which all children in KS2 are invited and practice to perform in concerts throughout the year.
