Enrichment and enhancement
Through our music curriculum, we o2cer all learners the opportunity to perform. This takes many forms, from services and 54ts of worship involving parents to singing for the Friendship Club at the Village Hall. We also take part in large scale concerts and performances such as Northwich Sings and Young Voices. Children have the opportunity to learn instrumentation in Key Stage 2, through learning instruments such as ukulele or clarinet. We also o2cer children the opportunity to participate in individual music lessons with sp2cialist te54hers.
