Music

Our Music Vision

Music: Music develops creativity, self-expression, and enjoyment while fostering confidence and collaboration.

At St Chad’s RC Primary, we believe every child should have the opportunity to explore and develop their musical potential. Through a variety of engaging experiences, we inspire pupils to enjoy music, discover their talents, and grow as confident musicians.

Through Music, children will:

• Listen critically, compose, and perform across a wide range of styles, cultures, and traditions.

• Express themselves creatively, build self-confidence, and experience a sense of achievement.

• Appreciate the role of music in worship and community, enhancing prayer and strengthening school life.

We use Charanga, a digital music platform, to support high-quality teaching, provide staff training, and deliver structured, engaging lessons across the school.

Learning is enriched through performances, singing in worship, and opportunities to share music with others, helping children to see the joy and power of music in everyday life.

Diocese of Salford - National Schools Singing Programme 

• Year 3 and Year 4 are participating in the Diocese of Salford Schools Singing Programme. This project allows opportunities for pupils to participate in additional performances within the Diocese, Parish, and local area.

• Weekly sessions take place during the normal school day and are tailored to suit each class. They include music for school liturgies blended with interactive music, education games and secular repertoire. Classes support the National Curriculum and enhance education attainment and progression. Sacred content nurtures children’s faith and flows into the worshipping life of the school and parish. Choral Directors liaise with schools to ensure sessions provide music for schools’ collective worship.
