Music is an important focus at St Winifred's school. All classes receive one class lesson of a half an hour once a week.
Lower School
Music is provided within the form environment to meet the requirements of the Early Learning Goals of the Foundation Stage and key stage 1 of the National Curriculum.
Upper School
From Year 3 until Year 6 - for children aged 8-11 years - music lessons are given by a music specialist and the attainment targets of Key Stage 2 of the National Curriculum are followed.
By the time the children have reached Year 6 they have been given opportunities to explore and use a widening range of sound structures; keyboards; xylophones; glockenspiel; ocarina and a variety of percussion.
Pupils are taught simple music notation and plenty of experience is given with singing, memorising songs and developing a repertoire of songs for enjoyment.
Listening and appraising takes the form of listening to music of various kinds and from different cultures and learning about composers and the range of musical instruments.
