Music

Subject Vision

At Colley Lane  Primary Academy, our music curriculum equips our pupils with the knowledge and understanding to listen, sing, compose and perform to music. As the children progress through our academy, we aim for them to develop an understanding of how music can vary and the different elements used to create a piece of music. We believe that children should also know how music shapes our history and that it has strong links with the culture and creativity of our nation. Our vision is to develop and stimulate the children’s interest in music, allowing them to express themselves in a variety of ways.

Curriculum

At Colley Lane  Primary Academy, we aim to provide a music curriculum that is creative, inclusive, challenging and inspired by the Pupils in Key Stage One and Key Stage Two will follow the National Curriculum Programmes of Study as set out in the National Curriculum.real-world. The music areas of study are set out in the Foundation Stage Curriculum and the National Curriculum. 

Assessment

Formative Assessment (AFL) is used during the teaching of each National Curriculum objective, children’s subject knowledge and musical ability will be assessed formatively by their class teacher on a lesson-by-lesson basis. Teachers will consider the music objectives covered during each session and the end-goal that is to be achieved; in doing so they will then make judgements that are subsequently used to inform future teaching based on the children’s musical competency relating to the piece of music performed or explored.
