Music
As a learning community centred in Christ, we walk hand in hand with God on our journey in Faith.
At English Martyrs' we follow the 'Charanga' music scheme across the whole school. The scheme is progressive and designed to teach the children musical knowledge and skills from EYFS through to Year 6.
Musical skills and knowledge taught in Years 1 to 6 build on skills and knowledge introduced in EYFS. We strongly believe that music must continue to be taught in a way which continues to be fun and engaging. Children are taught to listen and appraise different styles of music and are also taught musical skills through playing games. Throughout Key Stage 1 and 2 children are taught singing, improvisation, composition and performing via this structured and enjoyable scheme. They learn about the same musical concept through different musical activities and this enables a more secure, deeper learning and mastery of skills.
