Intent

At Leigh Primary School, children will develop a deep understanding and appreciation of music through listening, singing, playing, evaluating, analysing and composing a variety of music. Children will explore music from a variety of historical periods and traditions. Children in Years 4 and 5 will engage in quality instrumental lessons delivered by experts in the field of music.

Whole School Singing Assemblies

Whole school singing assemblies are delivered half-termly, where children learn to sing different songs linked to PSHE topics and values. The children learn how to sing together in unity, building on their confidence when performing to an audience.

After School Singing Club

Singing club takes place each week and involves children from Reception to Year 6. The children learn to sing and perform a variety of songs across different genres.

The Music Service

At Leigh, children have the opportunity to learn how to play a selection of different instruments (such as the clarinet, flute and fife). Children have weekly sessions and are also given the opportunity to take the instruments home. A number of different performances are arranged throughout the year, enabling the children to showcase their compositions to their peers and parents.
