‘Music is a universal language that embodies one of the highest forms of creativity’National Curriculum 2013 At Highlands, we aim to deliver a high-quality music education that engages and inspires pupils to develop a love of music and develop their talents as musicians, and so increase their self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement. As pupils progress, they should develop a critical engagement with music, allowing them to compose, and to listen with discrimination. In school, we will, through the effective teaching and learning of the knowledge, skills and understanding in music, maintain and stimulate pupil curiosity, interest and enjoyment. We endeavor to take our children on a musical journey around the world and celebrate a diverse range of musical styles, genres and artists. We will work alongside the specialist music teacher to develop our own skills and knowledge to ensure music teaching at Highlands is as effective and creative as possible..
