Music
Curriculum Intent
At Ludlow Junior School, we aim for every child to have access to high-quality, practical, and engaging musical experiences. We want all pupils to develop the self-confidence, skills, knowledge, and understanding to develop a lifelong love of music, whilst also providing a secure foundation that enables them to take music further should they wish to.
Our intent is for pupils to be curious and enjoy exploring key musical concepts and skills through a range of engaging lessons that incorporate a balance of musical literacy, history and practical application. Our emphasis on the development of our pupils’ cultural capital is enhanced by the provisions we offer that expose all pupils to a broad range of musical genres, styles and experiences. The progression of lessons include music from all over the world which promotes cultural understanding and knowledge of the world – reflecting our values as a ‘No Outsiders’ school.
In addition to whole class lessons, all pupils have access to wider opportunities at Ludlow Junior School. These include peripatetic music lessons, ukulele group, djembe drumming group, choir and vocal groups.
The teaching of music contributes to the love of learning. It is an integral part of learning retention across subjects where rhyme and song is used to support children’s metacognition.
At Ludlow Junior School, our singing assemblies is where the true meaning of collaboration and joy is enthused. We explore different beliefs and cultures, celebrating our diversity through the power of song in unison.
