Rationale

At Barham Primary School, we believe that providing a rich and diverse music education is essential in unlocking pupils' creative potential and enhancing their learning experiences. Our music curriculum is designed to provide a broad range of musical experiences to all pupils, enabling them to explore their talents and passions.

Aims

  • To provide a progressive and adaptable music curriculum, which is accessible and inclusive to all pupils.
  • To foster a love of music and develop pupils' musical understanding and skills.
  • To ensure that pupils have the opportunity to perform on a variety of tuned and untuned instrumentation from different cultures.
  • To evidence how each activity within the curriculum meets certain national curriculum points.
  • To provide assessment and evaluation of pupils' musical learning.
  • To offer additional musical opportunities beyond the national curriculum.

Curriculum Intent

We use Junior Jam to provide a comprehensive music curriculum, which covers the whole music curriculum from Reception to Year 6. Junior Jam provides three core subjects, Music Theory with Keyboards, Song writing with Glockenspiels and Singing, which are delivered across three half terms throughout the year. The remaining three half terms within an academic year will be instrument focused in order to ensure pupils have the opportunity to perform on a variety of tuned and untuned instrumentation from a wide range of different cultures.
To ensure that the curriculum is progressive and adaptive from year group to year group, the three core subjects pupils will study are year group specific. Lesson plans have been written with this intent in mind and target the learning at specific year groups.

Our intent is to ensure pupils have accessed to a wide range of musical experiences and developed their musical understanding in order to continue their musical journey.
