The music department is staffed with skilled and experienced, practising musicians with strong and
relevant specialisms. We have created and shaped our KS3 curriculum taking into consideration the vast
differences in experiences our students have had in KS2.
Our lessons are differentiated at multiple levels and this will allow access to the KS4 curriculum for students of all abilities, interests and intentions.
We have an inclusive ethos which provides all students with equal opportunities of success despite abilities or differences. We actively encourage self-regulation qualities as we need to ensure we can trust students using expensive and delicate equipment.
