Music

in Schools

Every child, regardless of family income or circumstances, should have an opportunity to play a musical instrument. Our whole class projects are totally inclusive and offer opportunities for all.

  • Early Years and Key Stage 1 Music and Movement projects are designed for children between the ages of 4 – 7 and provide a launch pad for musical development; the fun and engaging physical activities supporting their listening and social skills.
  • Whole Class Instrumental and Vocal projects allow children to develop their musical skills and knowledge. Specialist SEND and mainstream tutors provide weekly lessons for either one term or a whole year depending on the choice of project. Class teachers and Teaching Assistants are actively encouraged to learn an instrument alongside the students both to enhance the overall musical development of the group and provide invaluable CPD opportunities for school staff.

Music Ambassador Schools

The Music Ambassador School Scheme recognises excellence and innovation in Music Education in schools across Warrington and Halton. All Schools in Warrington and Halton are able to request support from the Music Ambassador Schools to enhance and develop the delivery of Music Education in their schools.

A typical Music Ambassador School will….

  • use Music to enrich school life for children and as a tool for learning
  • have colleagues who actively support and encourage music making in a curricular and extra-curricular setting
  • be prepared to share their expertise and experience with other schools
  • host 2 network meetings per year (Autumn and Spring Term)
  • be prepared to perform to the wider community in order to promote music making in schools
  • support Accent Music Education Hub in its quest to continue to raise the profile of music education standards across Warrington and Halton.
