Intent
At Rattlesden Primary School, our aim is for children to develop a lifelong love of music and the ability to understand key concepts of listening, singing, composing and performing. Children experience and enjoy different music traditions from a range of cultures, genres and eras. They are encouraged to evaluate and appraise a variety of music and use this to create their own compositions. This gives children the opportunity and belief in their musical ability, in which they can build on in KS3.
Music links throughout our curriculum, for example The Roman Song is enjoyed in our history topic, and maths and literacy are always fun when taught through music!
We aim to give all of our children, especially the most vulnerable a wide range of musical experiences, where they can achieve well and build confidence that spills over into other subjects and areas of their lives.
Our music curriculum is supported by the Kapow music scheme to ensure high quality lesson, resources and curriculum coverage and progression.

Implementation
All classes have music lessons each week. Year 5 have a specialist music teacher for guitar tuition from the Suffolk County Music Service weekly. They are able to ‘play on’ in Year 6, with subsidy for children in receipt of Pupil Premium funding. In Year 6 the children learn the recorder, reading music and performing, plus continuing to learn key concepts.
We attend school events arranged by the Suffolk County Music Service. We also perform regularly during the year, including at services held in the church for the local community.
At Christmas we sing to the elderly community outside the local shop, with hot chocolate and carols.
The school also provides piano lessons for the children during the school day, which is again subsidised for those receiving Pupil Premium.
We have a wide and high quality range of musical instruments available to all pupils, including instruments from other cultures and countries.
We have weekly singing practice, accompanied by the piano. The children also sing as they enter the hall as part of our Collective worship.
