Music

At Woodchurch C of E, we aim to foster a deep understanding of core mathematical concepts and instil a lifelong love for the subject. The curriculum is designed to be ambitious, well-sequenced, building upon prior knowledge and facilitating progression. A clearly planned teaching sequence allows children to develop numerical fluency, to be able to reason in a variety of ways and apply their learning to the context of measure to develop their problem-solving skills. Within the subject, we also aim to challenge gender stereotypes and make learning fun and relevant by using technology, transferring Mathematical skills to other subjects and using real-life contexts to teach skills. Our aim is for as many children as possible to be working at age related expectations and for an increasing number to be able to apply their prior knowledge to mastery.

Music is taught through the Charanga scheme; where the following strands of the music curriculum are developed through carefully sequenced units and the delivery of key skills and knowledge:
Playing and performing
Creating and composing
Responding and reviewing
Listening and understanding

In addition, children in Key Stage 2 have the opportunity to access brass and viola lessons.
