Music is a big part of our lives at St. John's! Our children get a variety of opportunities to sing and perform in a range of assemblies and concerts throughout the year. Music tuition is available in the school day for string instruments, piano and brass - these sessions are taught by specialist music teachers. There are further opportunities for tuition and singing in our before and after school clubs including guitar, pop choir, ukulele and Irish band.
At St. John’s we use the scheme ‘Sing Up’ for our music curriculum. We have adapted this scheme to suit the needs and abilities of our pupils. Our curriculum is informed by the ‘Model Music Curriculum’. We ensure our music provision is inclusive, where all children are comfortable to work at their own level with realistic expectations, with staff who have the expertise to further develop their skills. We use ‘The Manchester Music Hub’ to support our music provision.
