MUSIC
at The Winterton Federation
Through Kapow Music, we inspire pupils to be curious, expressive, and culturally aware, reflecting our commitment to being the beacon for learning. Pupils learn together by exploring new languages, sounds, and creative forms, building confidence and respect for diversity. These subjects nurture creativity, communication, and collaboration, enabling children to shine as expressive individuals and develop a lifelong appreciation of language and the arts.
At The Winterton Federation, our vision is to extend the rewarding and enriching experiences music can provide to every child in school. The main strands of the music curriculum are: performing, composing and improvising, listening, reviewing and evaluating, understanding and exploring. Children are taught to sing and perform a wide repertoire of songs and pieces encompassing many different styles and genres. Children are encouraged to explore musical composition and improvisation and evaluate the effectiveness of their ideas. History of music and the reading of notation will also be taught in Upper Key Stage 2.
Kapow Music is designed to provide all pupils with access to a high-quality and inclusive music education. Its intent is to develop pupils’ musical knowledge, skills, and understanding, while fostering confidence, creativity, and enjoyment. Through exposure to a wide range of musical genres, styles, cultures, and historical periods, pupils are encouraged to listen critically, perform with confidence, and express themselves creatively. The curriculum aims to ensure that all pupils make clear and progressive musical development and are prepared for future learning in music.
As a result of this approach, pupils make strong progress in their musical understanding and demonstrate increasing confidence in performing and composing. They are able to talk about music using accurate vocabulary and show an appreciation of music from a range of cultures and time periods. Pupils develop important transferable skills such as teamwork, concentration, and self-expression, alongside a lasting enjoyment of music. By the end of their primary education, pupils are well prepared for further musical study and participate confidently in musical activities.
