St Catherine’s Catholic Primary School, we believe that music is a powerful form of communication that enables personal expression, reflection and development.
We encourage our pupils to develop a love of music by performing on instruments, singing, composing and listening to a wide range of music in our curriculum lessons.
Our long-term vision for music is that all pupils access high-quality weekly music lessons and can progress their learning by taking up an instrument or joining a musical group. The skills involved within music lessons will help pupils develop their self-esteem, cooperation and creativity necessary for success.
Children will find that music can be enjoyable and relaxing, providing emotional outlets to cope with the pressures of modern-day society. We also believe it is important to celebrate and showcase the variety of talents and skills we have in school, giving children the opportunity to succeed in a variety of environments and opening them up to new prospects for their future.
We want children to adopt a life-long love of music, inspiring some to develop their musical abilities going forward.
