At Victoria Community School, we teach music following the National Curriculum which aims to ensure that all pupils:

• perform, listen to, review and evaluate music across a range of historical periods, genres, styles and traditions, including the works of the great composers and musicians
• learn to sing and to use their voices, to create and compose music on their own and with others, have the opportunity to learn a musical instrument, use technology appropriately and have the opportunity to progress to the next level of musical excellence
• understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated, including through the inter-related dimensions: pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure and appropriate musical notations.

Children from nursery to Year 6 receive a half hour music lesson weekly and take part in a weekly Song Practise assembly.

Music is taught using a number of resources, the main one being the Charanga Scheme of work.
