Music Development Plan

Curriculum Intent

Music at Meadlands inspires pupils to develop a love of the subject, develops their talents and in doing so, their self-confidence and indeed, all our school values. Pupils will leave having had the opportunity to learn at least two instruments and perform in a range of settings. We believe that these experiences are the route to not only outstanding musicianship but also forming well-rounded, socially adept and capable young people who can perform to a variety of audiences.

 

Curriculum Implementation

We are fortunate to be able to join forces with The London Ukelele Project and Richmond Music Trust to deliver our music curriculum.

In addition to this we celebrate music through our whole school singing assembly - and through a number of clubs. The after school clubs enable children who have enjoyed their lessons and a particular instrument to continue to learn and develop. We also offer 1:1 music lessons in piano, violin and drums. Children in receipt of the PPGrant are supported in taking up these individual sessions.

 

Performances form an integral part of our academic calendar and offer children a range of experiences, from intimate school based sharing to external vast scale audiences. Our choir will be performing Christmas carols at John Lewis and don't miss our Spring Arts Extravaganza and our Family Day Picnic performances!
