Music at Nash Mills
Led by Mrs Barrett
We see music as a key area of our curriculum, having close links to our overall school intent through the opportunities to support pupils to develop effective communication skills through performance and reflection. It also closely links with cultural capital, as pupils have regular opportunities to hear experienced and accomplished performers, developing their aspiration. Finally, music links explicitly to our spirituality focus, giving pupils and staff time to listen and experience moments of calm or considering how they may be affected by some pieces of music.
In their time at Nash Mills, all of our learners will have:
Expected outcomes are taken from the National Curriculum and the skills to be taught are drawn from the Model Music Curriculum along with the Charanga resource. We also have a good level of professional expertise across our staff team.
Each class has a weekly music lesson alongside other shorter music opportunities which total a minimum of 1 hour across a week. Main weekly lessons are delivered by teachers, teaching assistants and professional musicians. In addition, all students are given opportunities to watch live performances of music and to learn an individual musical instrument.
