We’re excited to announce enhancements to our Music scheme, reflecting our commitment to staying current with the latest educational guidance. Starting in the 2024/2025 academic year, we will introduce two new strands, ‘Creating Sound’ and ‘Notation’, beginning with Key stage 1 Music. These additions will further enrich our curriculum, with plans to extend them to Key stage 2 Music (Y3/4) and (Y5/6) the following year. More details will follow as we update our key documents to reflect these changes.
