Music is taught by teachers and on occasion by the Higher-Level Teaching Assistants following the specifically designed scheme of work on 'Charanga' for our school.
These regular music lessons deliver the requirements of the EYFS 2022, the National Curriculum 2014 and the non-statutory Model Music Curriculum (MMC) Guidance published by the DfE in 2021.
The Music Policy, Music Curriculum Overview and Music Knowledge & Skills Progression documents are updated annually.
Private music lessons and instrument hire are offered in guitar, keyboard, clarinet and brass instruments via both the Lancashire Music Services 'PDP' service and a private provider. Children may join the ensembles at the Ormskirk Music Hub. We are also a member of the Lancashire Music Hub, which provides training and specialist advice through the Lancashire Music Service.
We believe music education is a path to life-long learning and knowledge of self and culture. It supports healthy social development and the quality of a young person’s life, and it prepares young people for success in the 21st century workplace as well as allowing children the chance to ‘live life in all its fullness’.
‘We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ to do good works.’
Ephesians 2:10
