MUSIC
Intent
Here at Webheath we love to express ourselves through music. We value self expression, creativity and the enjoyment that it brings. Music contributes to the development the children's personality and their well being.
Inspired by a wide range of music from different genres, composers and eras, the children listen, compose, sing, play and perform.
Implementation
Children begin their musical journey in the Early Years where they enjoy singing familar songs, exploring rhythm and rhyme. In Key Stages One and Two learning follows the Chris Quigley Essentials Curriculum. This covers and exceeds the National Curriculum providing a succession of musical skills for each student to acquire. This is enhanced by our creative curriculum, where music is often used to compliment learning is in other subjects.
Impact
Music plays an important role in the life of Webheath Academy Primary School. The pupils sing beautifully and this brings our community together, enhancing our collective worship. All pupils have access to musical development, that breaks down the barriers, that often hinder musical confidence in adult life. Children who want to improve their skills can beneifit from extra curricular activities and older children can become music leaders to help younger children along their journey. The joy and confidence that music brings aids pupil personal develoment as they persevere, listen, cooperate, play and perform together.
