At St Bartholomew’s C of E Primary School, we want every child to be able to link, both mentally and spiritually with music in both collective worship and musical lessons. By listening to a wide variety of musical genres, and learning to sing and play many different songs throughout their time in school, we want children to develop a curiosity for music, encouraging them to develop their own musical passions outside of school. Using music and performance across the curriculum, will in turn increase children’s self-confidence, creativity and sense of achievement, allowing our children to be happy in their learning and increase their enjoyment in school. By developing a strong base of music within school, children will be able to:
- Perform, listen to, review and evaluate music.
- Be taught to sing, create and compose music.
- Understand and explore how music is created, produced and communicated.
As stated in the national curriculum.

Curriculum - Music - Piano Concert - May 2023
What an amazing morning KS1 had in school. They were treated to an brilliant concert, where Joanna the Piano was brought to life and helped us to understand what we need to do to help save the planet: switch off lights; walk more instead of using busses and cars; wear a jumper to keep warm instead of turning the heating up and recycle what we can! We also looked inside the piano to see it working as it was being played.
A great big thank you to Sally and her team, especially the world renown pianist Yuanfan Yang and Helen Quayle who put on a great show. Just watch the videos of Yaunfan playing. If you started practicing now, maybe you could play like him in the future!
