Music
Music is an important foundation subject at Mountfield Primary School. It is used to celebrate and mark times across the year with whole school performances at Harvest, Christmas, Easter and our annual Community Singing Picnic, amongst other opportunities.
Music is taught across the school and pupils’ knowledge and skills are carefully scaffolded to ensure progression throughout the whole curriculum. This is achieved through a carefully designed curriculum whereby singing is prioritised in the EYFS and KS1, with musical knowledge and skills being developed throughout years 3 and 4, while in years 5 and 6 pupils have an opportunity to develop and apply their musicianship skills through learning the Ukulele and trumpet. Running through all year groups is a programme of listening to ensure that pupils are exposed to a wide repertoire of music from many different musical traditions.
