Music
Subject Lead: Mrs K.Broughton
The intent of music education in at Seaton Academy is to inspire pupils to develop a love of music and a deep understanding of the subject. We nurture pupils' music ability and creativity. Our curriculum is designed for pupils of all abilities, and we aim to develop confident and competent musicians who enjoy making music as a lifelong activity.
Underpinned by the National Curriculum and Development Matters, we ensure that music teaching is of high quality and delivered consistently. We have a clear and well-planned curriculum that establishes what pupils need to know, building on prior learning and developing skills and knowledge over time.
In the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), music is taught in a playful, exploratory and integrated way through the Expressive Arts and Design area of learning. The focus of our curriculum is developing children’s listening, movement, creativity and communication skills through musical experiences. Our curriculum ensures that we deliver practical music lessons, allowing opportunities to listen and appraise, explore and compose, sing, improvise and perform. Lastly, we integrate music into the wider curriculum, allowing pupils to learn new subjects and develop skills through music.
The impact of the curriculum in our school will be that pupils will be happy, inspired, and confident in their music abilities. Through their increasing knowledge, pupils will be able to explain, perform and respond to a variety of musical genres and styles at an age-appropriate level. The pupils will have an understanding of the importance of music as a universal language that reflects cultural heritage and diversity.
Finally, pupils have access to a variety of extracurricular music opportunities, including choir and performing arts club.
