Our Champion of Music – Acoustic Andrzej
At Cawston Grange Primary School, we believe that music is an essential part of a child’s development, fostering creativity, emotional expression, and a sense of belonging. Our music curriculum is designed to inspire and engage students, helping them discover the joy of music through listening, performing, and composing. We prioritise creating a broad musical culture that celebrates a wide range of musical genres, styles, and traditions from around the world and recognise the enriching learning experiences music provides the wider curriculum, in order to nurture a well-rounded education. Through exposure to diverse musical influences, we aim to inspire curiosity, broaden horizons, and develop an appreciation for different cultures and artistic expressions.
Our music curriculum is designed to be inclusive and responsive, ensuring that all children are encouraged to explore and express themselves through music in a supportive and welcoming environment. We believe that music is for everyone and therefore want every child to be given the opportunity to participate, whether through vocal performance, instrumental play, or composition. By adapting our approach to suit the varying needs of our students, we ensure that each child can engage meaningfully with the subject, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love for music.
By recognising and nurturing the individual interests and talents of each student, we aim to create a music education that not only enhances their creativity and musical skills but also supports their emotional and social development.
Our Curriculum content is underpinned by the National Curriculum and we use Charanga and Sparkyard to support the delivery of our Music education at Cawston Grange Primary School. We ensure progression throughout the different year groups by ensuring all pupils are challenged and supported to reach their full potential and most importantly that they are ambitious and happy learners.
‘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.’
