At Tickhill St. Mary’s C of E Primary and Nursery School, we aim to enable pupils to become confident and skilled musicians who develop their musical techniques and performance skills. Our Music curriculum plays a vital role in this, enhancing pupils’ enjoyment and engagement with music. 

Our Core Values provide the foundation on which we have built our curriculum offer at Tickhill St. Mary’s. Our Music curriculum is underpinned by these Core Values through being: 

Resilient 

• We strive to develop and embed skills across a broad range of musical techniques. 

• Pupils are encouraged to persevere in mastering new skills and techniques. 

Curious 

• We foster a keen attitude towards learning new skills, musical techniques, and applying them in performance. 

• Pupils are motivated by a desire to achieve, both individually and as part of a team. 

• We encourage pupils to explore how far they can push their musical abilities. 

Active Members of the Community 

• Pupils perform in church services, participate in Christmas carol events, and join community initiatives such as Doncaster’s Sing Out and Young Voices. 

• We celebrate musical cultures from around the world, including sign language and diverse traditions. 

Respectful 

• Pupils develop respect for different musical styles and cultures. 

• We promote respect for ourselves and others during performances and skill development. 

• Pupils learn to appreciate and respect a variety of musical tastes and opinions. 

Accountable 

• We nurture confident musicians equipped with the skills and creativity to perform and compose independently. 

• Our carefully planned music curriculum and enrichment opportunities provide access to a range of instruments. 

Beyond the Subject 

• We want our Music curriculum to help children: 

• Develop a lifelong enjoyment of music. 

• Gain confidence in learning new instruments and performing for others. 

• Engage with diverse musical styles and musicians from different cultures.
