Music
Intent
The Music Department aims to develop students’ musical understanding and enjoyment by actively engaging with music. A wide range of enrichment activities are available, and we encourage students to take a musically active part in school life.
These topics need to be covered to give students the opportunity to perform in groups and as individuals and to learn about musical history and genres. The order in which these topics are taught will help develop their skills through Key Stage 3 and give them choices at Key Stage 4, particularly if they already play an instrument or sing.
Students will be exposed to as many different composers and styles of music as possible throughout Key Stage 3 to widen their appreciation of music and inspire them to listen to music they may not have heard before.
Music has many transferable skills, including:
- Teamwork
- Independent work
- Creativity
- Presenting skills
- Time management
- ICT skills
- Awareness of other cultures
