Music
At Northway Infant and Carrant Brook Junior Schools, we engage in music through a knowledge-rich curriculum, which focuses on facts, skills and emotional connections. We aim to engage and inspire children to develop a love of music and increase their confidence, creativity and achievement within music. Music sessions provide children with opportunities to listen to, play, perform and experiment with music. These sessions are practical, fun and inclusive, enabling all children to engage critically with music and develop transferable skills. Each music lesson focuses on a key musical skill. The children experience a range of musical styles, genres and traditions, as well as incorporating pupil's own music choices to compare and contrast against. Throughout their years in our two schools, the children are provided with opportunities to use their voices expressively and creatively through singing, playing untuned and tuned instruments, listen to live and recorded music, and improvise and compose their own music! We participate in events such as Young Voices, I Sing Pop, school nativities, and annual plays or musicals, as well as local events. Our two schools work closely, and in partnership with, our local GSW Music Hub. They provide opportunities for peripatetic music lesson, teacher CPD, whole-class ensemble tuition and other performance opportunities.
