Music

At Gladstone Primary Academy, music is a highly valued subject, it supports our pupils in building a sense of community, and they grow in confidence through shared performances and singing. It enables them to show their creativity through the compositions and sounds they make and helps us to build the cultural capital of our children.

The music curriculum is underpinned by the Charanga Scheme and delivered by a specialist teacher.

Music is taught from EYFS to Year 6 and is built around a spiral progression to ensure skills are revisited and built upon each year.

Each year group is taught a unit each half-term. Each unit is made up of 6 lessons (steps). 

The units of work comprise the strands of musical learning which correspond with the National Curriculum for music:

• Listening and Appraising
• Musical Activities
• Performing
