“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything.” ― Plato
Our musical aims for every child - Our Intent
We believe that music feeds our souls. Pupils at Appleton Thorn Primary experience a rich and full spectrum of performances, learning opportunities and enrichments during their time here. Our pupils love to sing together and we create a real sence of community during collective singing with a different musical anthem each term. Children listen to a wide range of musical genres and artists, both in the classrooms and during assemblies.
Our curriculum supports carefully planned sequences of learning to enable pupils to show high levels of musical skills as they prepare for High School. Many of our pupils take the opportunity to learn an instrument at a higher level through our perapatetic teachers.
