Impact

Pupils will gain access to a varied curriculum, inclusive of all needs. They can identify key strengths within Music, as well as identifying areas they believe they can improve on. The integral nature of music and the learner creates an enormously rich palette from which a child may access fundamental abilities such as: achievement, self-confidence, interaction with and awareness of others, and self-reflection. Children’s understanding of culture and history will develop, both in relation to children individually, as well as different ethnicities from across the world. They can sing and feel a pulse. They have an understanding of how to further develop skills less known to them, should they ever develop an interest in their lives.
