Millom Infant School
Every child a learner, we all learn together
Our Vision:
The National Curriculum states that ‘music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity. A high-quality music education should engage and inspire pupils to develop a love of music and their talent as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement.
Our Aims:
The National Curriculum for music aims to ensure that all pupils:
Early Years:
Our pupils in Reception will follow the curriculum as set out in Early Years Foundation Stage and CUSP Curriculum. During their time in Reception, we will ensure that the children explore and play with a range of instruments. They will develop a love of singing as they will be given several opportunities to learn new songs. The children will be encouraged and given opportunities to share their thoughts, ideas and feelings through the musical activities that they complete.
Key Stage 1:
During Key Stage One, we will encourage our pupils to use their voices expressively by ensuring that there are regular opportunities to sing songs and speak and chant rhymes. We will ensure that our pupils listen to a range of high-quality live and recorded music. We will encourage the children to experiment with different sounds when playing both tuned and untuned instruments. This will be through the CUSP Curriculum.
