Music

INTENT

At St Saviour’s C of E Primary School, our music curriculum intends to create excellent models of positive experiences for learning so that ALL children are excited by our offer of high-quality musical opportunities. All children at St Saviour’s will have the opportunity to experience music in a ‘have a go’ environment, where they are able to express their creativity and enjoy all aspects of music learning no matter what their musical ability is. At St Saviour’s, we believe that music and performance allow children to gain confidence to pursue dreams and reach their full potential.

Our school recognises the importance of the enjoyment of teaching and learning music. Music is proven to create a feel-good state of mind and improve our mental health. Music also plays an important part in helping children feel part of a community. We provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music, to develop the skills to appreciate a wide variety of musical forms, and to begin to make judgements about the quality of music.

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