This is a summary of how our school delivers music education to all our pupils across three areas – curriculum music, co-curricular provision and musical experiences – and what changes we are planning in future years.

Teaching is supported by specialist planning. This musical learning is further supplemented by weekly singing assemblies in each key stage, lasting 20 minutes.
