Music at Fordbridge

Music is a vital component of a broad and balanced curriculum, offering a unique contribution that extends beyond core academic subjects. It fosters the development of confidence, creativity, and a wide range of transferable skills, providing children with meaningful opportunities to explore and express themselves.

Our music curriculum is dynamic and diverse, encompassing a broad spectrum of skills and experiences. Students have the opportunity to demonstrate their learning through performances both within the school and in the wider community. Through engaging, hands-on lessons, children become proficient with a variety of instruments and musical technologies, ensuring lessons are both enjoyable and impactful. Additionally, students develop the ability to read, write, and interpret music, explore the works of historical and contemporary composers, and participate in a variety of musical activities throughout their time at Fordbridge.

We are committed to nurturing a love of music, encouraging children to create, perform, and share their talents with peers and the community. To support this, we offer a wide range of performance opportunities, including participation in Fordbridge Voices, school assemblies, and other public showcases. We aim to instill in our students the resilience, determination, and pride necessary to present their work confidently and celebrate their achievements.

To ensure high-quality music education, we collaborate with the Solihull Music Service, providing expert tuition from skilled music educators. For other lessons, we implement the Kapow scheme, which delivers a progressive and engaging curriculum tailored to our students’ needs.

Fordbridge takes pride in the breadth of musical opportunities available to our pupils. Students may join our weekly choir club or participate in Dramatic Diva’s University, where they can perform songs and dances within the school and local community. Singing forms the core of these activities, and all children are encouraged to take part throughout the year, enhancing their confidence, creativity, and enjoyment of music.

Within our school, classes complete monthly music reviews where we listen to music from different parts of the world and background.  After listening to the music children have the opportunities to review what they have learnt.
