Music at Grasmere Primary School
Our Music curriculum at Grasmere aims to engage and inspire all pupils to develop a love of music; creating passionate, informed and confident musicians.
We have a rich and diverse curriculum that covers both the National Curriculum and the Model Music Curriculum across KS1 and KS2 whilst also providing opportunities for all pupils to discover their musical voice across a range of instruments and experiences.
Through exploration, investigation, song, dance and play, children discover music in the early years, creating the building blocks for musical learning that will be nurtured and built upon throughout their time at Grasmere.

We are delighted to introduce our Music Intervention Lead Practitioner for Key Stage 1 and 2, Lea Andrews.
Lea runs our dedicated Music intervention program that includes a range of engaging activities such as composition, rhythm exercises, the use of music software and the exploration of various instruments. Through improvisation, she aims to enhance communication skills and boost self-confidence among Grasmere students. The sessions are conducted individually, in small groups, and during whole class sessions, where appropriate.
This music intervention program has proved especially beneficial for students who are pre-verbal or have specific additional needs and sessions are tailored to the progress targets for each individual child. For these children, music can be transformative, significantly enhancing their abilities in communication, collaboration, and self-expression. It not only builds their confidence but also enriches their overall school experience, making their school day more enjoyable, fulfilling, and ultimately supporting progress across the curriculum.
