Subject aims:
We aim to foster a love for music and an appreciation of the importance of music from various times places and cultures. Pupils will be given the opportunity perform, listen to, appraise, compose, review and evaluate music as appropriate for their age and stage of learning. Staff have a clear understanding of the progression of vocabulary, skills and knowledge, which they use to ensure all pupils are challenged. We feel it is important for pupils to have the opportunity to enjoy live music and meet musicians in order to realise a career in teaching, making or producing music is a tangible career goal. We aim for every pupil to leave Park Street able to play at least one instrument. We aim to offer a wide range of extra-curricular music activities and clubs. In striving for excellence, we ensure all pupils have the opportunity to engage in local and national events, initiatives and competitions.
The aims for art from the National Curriculum are fully embedded into our provision to ensure that all pupils:
- perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and
traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians
- learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others,
have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the
opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
- understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the
inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate
musical notations.
How is the subject taught?
Music may be taught in weekly lessons, blocked through cross-curricular projects with elements covered in the annual arts week. Please refer to the subject overview document below for specific details relating to the delivery model for specific year groups.
How is the subject assessed?
Assessment for learning takes place in lessons through questioning, discussion, target setting and evaluation. Pupils are given regular opportunities to reflect on their own work and set themselves targets. Teachers use school tracking and assessment documents to record each pupils progress. this is reported to parents on annual reports and throughout the year during parent, pupil and teacher meetings.
Coverage across year groups

CURRENT SUBJECT INFORMATION RELATING TO COVID-19 AND REOPENING OF SCHOOLS (SEPTEMBER 2020) FOLLOWING PARTIAL SCHOOL CLOSURES.
Since returning to school in September following partial school closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we have been working hard to identify the areas of learning individual pupils may need to catch up on. As always, we are making core subjects the priority - particularly the basic skills of numeracy and literacy. However here at Wombwell Park Street, we are passionate about our broad, balanced and ambitious curriculum offer and feel now more than ever pupils need the opportunity to engage in a wide range of learning opportunities. Children will be accessing the full range of curriculum subjects this year. During the autumn and spring term subject leaders will be prioritising the key learning objectives and vocabulary to be covered in each subject. Class teachers will plan a range of integrated projects and lessons to ensure that all subjects are covered each term although there may be some reduction in frequency and objectives in the foundation subjects to allow pupils to catch up missed learning in the core subjects. By no later than summer term 2021 we are planning to be teaching the full range of subjects in their entirety as detailed in our comprehensive subject overviews. If you wish to discuss our current curriculum provision further do not hesitate to contact school and Mrs Longden Deputy Head can provide further information. Should you need any further information relating to provision in Music, Miss Taylor and Mrs Longden will be happy to answer any questions.
