Statement of Intent: 

At Finchale Primary School, we aim to provide every child with high quality music experiences which engage and inspire them, to provide opportunities for all children to create, play, perform and enjoy music and to appreciate a variety of musical styles from different cultures. Our music curriculum promotes self-confidence, self-esteem, self-expression and gives all pupils a sense of achievement. Singing and performing is the heart of our music curriculum. We aim for every child to leave Finchale Primary School with a range of musical skills and knowledge (including singing, performance, improvisation, composition, musical appreciation, and the history of music), and an understanding and love of music which they can carry with them for the rest of their lives. Throughout their time at Finchale, children are given opportunities to learn different instruments.

Children are also provided with opportunities to showcase their talents both within and outside our school community. We actively seek opportunities for our pupils to participate in musical events within our wider community along with other musicians and, on occasion, professionals. We believe these experiences can be inspiring and even life-changing, creating memories which remain forever.
