At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of Music has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become skilled and confident musicians. Our curriculum aims to provide the children with a secure understanding of music through singing, listening, performing, and composing. We are dedicated to fostering a passion for the subject as well deepening the children’s knowledge and skills in music. We are committed to developing our musician’s creativity, confidence, and appreciation of music in a balanced and non-judgemental way.
At Bricknell, we follow the Charanga Music Scheme in the Spring and Summer Term, alongside this our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Musical Notation Theory Unit of work that is taught in the Autumn Term. This will provide our pupils with the knowledge and skills required to read music confidently and master the different elements of music. Similarly, a Listening and Appraising Unit of work has been devised that will run alongside the Musical Notation Theory Unit and Charanga’s Music Scheme. A Curriculum Overview Document has been carefully thought out and objectives for each year group are progressively mapped out to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge the further their education journey into KS3.
Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital, they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. To achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.
