All pupils receive a weekly lesson of Performing Arts throughout KS3. The focus throughout the three years is to acquire and develop skills in all types and genres of music through:

​

• Listening

• Performing

• Composing   

• Appraising  

 

The principal aim of the department is to develop and enhance every pupil’s enjoyment of music. Furthermore, to ensure that the musical potential of every child is fulfilled through practical, engaging activities both in and out of the classroom. Our music department aims to be a welcoming and nurturing environment for all pupils to be able to explore their musical interests and talents in a supportive atmosphere. Pupils have access to a wide range of classroom percussion instruments as well as keyboards and ukuleles.
